Jealousy Quotes (page 4)

He, unfortunately for himself, had been beautifully brought up. His teacher had educated him as the child is educated in the womb, where it lives the history of man from fish to mammal--and, like the child in the womb, he had been protected with love meanwhile. The effect of such an education was that he had grown up without any of the useful accomplishments for living--without malice, vanity, suspicion, cruelty, and the commoner forms of selfishness. Jealousy seemed to him the most... T. H. White
George Byron quote: "Yet he was jealous, though he did not show it, For jealousy..."
Yet he was jealous, though he did not show it, For jealousy dislikes the world to know it. George Byron
Erica Jong quote: "The words carry their own momentum. A confession in motion..."
The words carry their own momentum. A confession in motion tends to stay in motion. Newton's first law of jealousy. Erica Jong
Our hero's unreasoning rage was fed by a not unreasonable jealousy. It was clear to him that Zuleika had forgotten his existence. To-day, as soon as he had killed her love, she had shown him how much less to her was his love than the crowd's. And now again it was only the crowd she cared for. He followed with his eyes her long slender figure as she threaded her way in and out of the crowd, sinuously, confidingly, producing a penny from one lad's elbow, a threepenny-bit from between...

George Byron quote: "Yet he was jealous, though he dd not show it, For jealousy..."
Yet he was jealous, though he dd not show it, For jealousy dislikes the world to know it. George Byron
What they do not comprehend is man's helplessness. I am weak, small, of no consequence to the universe. It does not notice me; I live on unseen. But why is that bad? Isn't it that way? Whom the gods notice they destroy. Be small... and you will escape the jealousy of the great. Philip K. Dick
Patience never wants Wonder to enter the house: because Wonder is a wretched guest. It uses all of you but is not careful with what is most fragile or irreplaceable. If it breaks you, it shrugs and moves on. Without asking, Wonder often brings along dubious friends: doubt, jealousy, greed. Together they take over; rearrange the furniture in every one of your rooms for their own comfort. They speak odd languages but make no attempt to translate for you. They cook strange meals in your... Jonathan Carroll
That should have been my strategy! By the time I’ve worked through the emotions of surprise, admiration, anger, jealousy, and frustration, I’m watching that reddish mane of hair disappear into the trees well out of shooting range. Suzanne Collins
what was a rose but the living proof of desire, the single best evidence of human longing and earthly devotion. but desire could be twisted, after all, and Jealousy was the name of the rose that did well in arid souls. Alice Hoffman
Then all at once she turned to me, her face pale, her eyes strangely alight. She said, “Is it possible to love someone so much, that it gives one a pleasure to hurt them? To hurt them by jealousy, I mean, and to hurt myself at the same time. Pleasure and pain, an equal mingling of pleasure and pain, just as an experiment, a rare sensation? Daphne du Maurier
I made this resolution today. I will try to excel in all things yet if I am excelled, without fault of mine, I will not be mortified. I will not withhold from any one the praise which I think his due; nor will I allow myself to envy another's praise or to feel jealousy when I hear him praised. May God help me to keep it. Salmon P. Chase
Edward Albee quote: "I said I was impressed, Martha. I'm beside myself with..."
I said I was impressed, Martha. I'm beside myself with jealousy. What do you want me to do, throw up? Edward Albee
William Shakespeare quote: "So full of artless jealousy is guilt, It spills itself in..."
So full of artless jealousy is guilt, It spills itself in fearing to be spilt. William Shakespeare
It is now expedient to give some description of Mrs. Allen, that the reader may be able to judge in what manner her actions will hereafter tend to promote the general distress of the work, and how she will, probably, contribute to reduce poor Catherine to all the desperate wretchedness of which a last volume is capable -- whether by her imprudence, vulgarity, or jealousy -- whether by intercepting her letters, ruining her character, or turning her out of doors. Jane Austen
One would always want to think of oneself as being on the side of love, ready to recognize it and wish it well --but, when confronted with it in others, one so often resented it, questioned its true nature, secretly dismissed the particular instance as folly or promiscuity. Was it merely jealousy, or a reluctance to admit so noble and enviable a sentiment in anyone but oneself? Shirley Hazzard
