Jealousy
Jealousy, that dragon which slays love under the pretence of keeping
it alive.
--Havelock Ellis
In jealousy there is more of self-love than love.
--Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Love looks through a telescope; envy through a microscope.
--Josh Billings
Relationships of all kinds are like sand held in your hand. Held
loosely, with an open hand, the sand remains where it is. The minute you
close your hand and squeeze tightly to hold on, the sand trickles through
your fingers. You may hold on to some of it, but most will be spilled.
A relationship is like that. Held loosely, with respect and freedom for
the other person, it is likely to remain intact. But hold too tightly,
too possessively, and the relationship slips away and is lost.
-- Chicken Soup for the Soul
Love sees sharply, hatred sees even more sharp, but Jealousy sees
the sharpest for it is love and hate at the same time.
--Unknown
Jealousy is that pain which a man feels from the apprehension that he
is not equally beloved by the person whom he entirely loves”
-- Joseph Addison
There is no greater glory than love, nor any greater punishment than
jealousy.
-- Lope de Vega
