  • Jealousy Quote #1

    Anger and jealousy can no more bear to lose sight of their objects than love.

    George Eliot

  • Jealousy Quote #2

    Animals don't know as much about jealousy as people, but they're not ignorant of it, either.

    Stephen King

  • Jealousy Quote #3

    Animosity killed the elephant.

    Kevin Dalton

  • Jealousy Quote #4

    Anna has a stab of jealousy - she is thrilled for them, yet can't help but envy their happiness. Don't be ungracious, she tells herself. It is not your time; it is theirs. Lou is so lovely; she deserves to be happy.

    Sarah Rayner

  • Jealousy Quote #5

    Archer wouldn't consider her allowance of the guard to be evidence of the powers of rational argument. He'd take it as proof that she was in love with whichever of her guards was the most handsome.

    Kristin Cashore

  • Jealousy Quote #6

    Are you busy? I ask.

    I'm working on a paper. Recall? The phone conversation we had fifteen minutes ago?

    I glance up at a clock in the hall, and then back at his smart-ass mouth.

    It was twenty minutes ago.

    I need coffee, he says, and why is he being such an adorable dick, still smiling at me like that? Want to walk up to Dunkin' Donuts?

    What about Millie? I say.

    What about her?

    Does she want any?

    Should we call her and ask?

    Isn't she upstairs?

    How hard did you hit your head last night?

    Mercy Brown

  • Jealousy Quote #7

    As for Iago’s jealousy, one cannot believe that a seriously jealous man could behave towards his wife as Iago behaves towards Emilia, for the wife of a jealous husband is the first person to suffer. Not only is the relation of Iago and Emilia, as we see it on stage, without emotional tension, but also Emilia openly refers to a rumor of her infidelity as something already disposed of.

    Some such squire it was
    That turned your wit, the seamy side without
    And made you to suspect me with the Moor.

    At one point Iago states that, in order to revenge himself on Othello, he will not rest till he is even with him, wife for wife, but, in the play, no attempt at Desdemona’s seduction is made. Iago does not encourage Cassio to make one, and he even prevents Roderigo from getting anywhere near her.

    Finally, one who seriously desires personal revenge desires to reveal himself. The revenger’s greatest satisfaction is to be able to tell his victim to his face – You thought you were all-powerful and untouchable and could injure me with impunity. Now you see that you were wrong. Perhaps you have forgotten what you did; let me have the pleasure of reminding you.

    When at the end of the play, Othello asks Iago in bewilderment why he has thus ensnared his soul and body, if his real motive were revenge for having been cuckolded or unjustly denied promotion, he could have said so, instead of refusing to explain.

    W.H. Auden

  • Jealousy Quote #8

    As iron is eaten away by rust, so the envious are consumed by their own passion.

    Antisthenes

  • Jealousy Quote #9

    As jealousy entered, trust left... and their dream of a relationship began to wither into a nightmare... a nightmare in which love just wasn't enough.

    Steve Maraboli

  • Jealousy Quote #10

    As soon as jealousy is discovered, it is regarded by the person who is its object as a challenge which justifies deception.

    Marcel Proust

  • Jealousy Quote #11

    At least I could tell she wouldn't try to kill me in my sleep now.

    J.L. McCoy

  • Jealousy Quote #12

    At that time, he was satisfying a sensual curiosity by experiencing the pleasures of people who live for love. He had believed he could stop there, that he would not be obliged to learn their sorrows; how small a thing her charm was for him now compared with the astounding terror that extended out from it like a murky halo, the immense anguish of not knowing at every moment what she had been doing, of not possessing her everywhere and always!

    Marcel Proust

  • Jealousy Quote #13

    At the heart of every really good Christmas movie is the threat, I suppose, to Christmas. Something is wrong with Christmas, in all of these movies. In 'The Polar Express,' there's a kid that doesn't really believe, and that's the threat to Christmas. In 'Santa Claus: The Movie,' jealousy and greed are threatening to overrun his Christmas.

    James McAvoy

  • Jealousy Quote #14

    Atticus adjusted his glasses as he peered down at the blanket. “Hey, is that the book Nellie told us about?”
    Jake’s eyes flicked to Olivia’s book. “You’ve got it outside in the sun? Are you out of your minds?”
    Amy crossed her arms. “We’re being careful.”
    “It’s not about careful, this is a five-hundred-year-old manuscript! You should be wearing gloves—Atticus brought some—and keeping it out of the sunlight.”
    “It didn’t take you long to start barking orders!” Any exclaimed, her face flushing. “But then you always know best, don’t you?”
    “Somebody has to be mature in this situation,” Jake said, his gaze flashing at Ian, who was now intently trying to brush cookie crumbs off his pants.
    “True. In that case, we’d rather consult your little brother,” Ian said with a smirk. “Medieval manuscripts are his field, am I right?”
    “Technically, it’s early Renaissance,” Jake said.
    “Thanks for the correction, my good man. Amy is right—you do know best.” Ian slipped his arm around Amy. “She’s so perceptive. One of the many things I adore about her.”
    “It’s getting chilly. Why don’t we go inside?” Amy suggested brightly as she tried to step out of the circle of Ian’s arm.
    Ian took the opportunity to rub her shoulder. “You do feel rather cold,” he said. “Let’s sit by the fire. Jake, since you’re so interested in proper handling, why don’t you take the book?”
    Jake snatched up the book and furiously stomped off toward the house.
    “You forgot to wear gloves!” Ian called after him.
    Amy pushed him away. “Really, Ian.”
    “What a touchy guy,” Ian said. “Frankly, I don’t know what you see in him.”
    He winced as the kitchen door slammed, then glanced at Amy’s red face. “Hmmm. It might be a good time for me to take a walk.

    Jude Watson

  • Jealousy Quote #15

    Authors always carry a means for scribbling and an excuse for pausing, often inopportunely, to record those fleeting sparks of creative fancy that might otherwise vanish like a wisp in the wind if ignored. Writing is a jealous and needy lover.

    Richelle E. Goodrich

  • Jealousy Quote #16

    Back at home, after some prodding from Tereza, he admitted that he had been jealous watching her dance with a colleague of his. You mean you were really jealous? she asked him ten times or more, incredulously, as though someone had just informed her she had been awarded a Nobel Peace prize. Then she put her arm around his waist and began dancing across the room. The step she used was not the one she had shown off in the bar. It was more like a village polka, a wild romp that sent her legs flying in the air and her torso bounding all over the room, with Tomas in tow. Before long, unfortunately, she bagan to be jealous herself, and Tomas saw her jealously not as a Nobel Prize, but as a burden, a burden he would be saddled with until not long before his death.

    Milan Kundera

  • Jealousy Quote #17

    Back then I didn't think a woman like that, or a relationship like that, could exist with complete freedom and no jealousy or possessiveness. I thought it sounded too good to be true and I was certainly convinced it wasn't the life for me!

    Sylvia Kristel

  • Jealousy Quote #18

    Be careful what you wish for. It may turn out that making the wish was the only good part.

    Richelle E. Goodrich

  • Jealousy Quote #19

    Be that kind of girl who smiles when you walk past other girls instead of casting a dirty look. Don't buy into the notion of female competition that society so heavily promotes.

    Miya Yamanouchi

  • Jealousy Quote #20

    Beauty is more a danger than intelligence or wit. One becomes a living mirror for the inadequacies of others.

    Gordon Dahlquist

  • Jealousy Quote #21

    Beauty is not who you are on the outside, it is the wisdom and time you gave away to save another struggling soul, like you.

    Shannon L. Alder

  • Jealousy Quote #22

    Because of the green-eyed one, I see red and that makes me blue.

    Natalya Vorobyova

  • Jealousy Quote #23

    Because the writer resented that she had turned to me I became the handsome and dazed narrator, incapable of love or kindness. That's how I became the damaged party boy who wandered through the wreckage, blood streaming from his nose, asking questions that never required answers. That's how I became the boy who never understood how anything worked. That's how I became the boy who wouldn't save a friend. That's how I became the boy who couldn't love the girl.

    Bret Easton Ellis

  • Jealousy Quote #24

    Because whipping an atlas at Jackson's head while he was flirt-touching that Frankie girl in geography would have been very satisfying. And beating him with the Eiffel Tower snowglobe while he kissed Cleo in French would have been tres cathartic. But she hadn't. Instead she'd been egg-like: a hard shell on the outside, and a runny mess on the inside.

    Lisi Harrison

  • Jealousy Quote #25

    Before Charlotte could utter a syllable, Tristan picked up her gloved hand and kissed her lightly on the
    knuckles.
    “Good day, Charlotte,” he said.
    “Good day,” she answered. She turned to bid farewell to Lady Rosalind, but she seemed to have
    disappeared.
    Numbly, she descended the front steps toward a waiting Rothbury, who only had eyes for the Devines’
    front door, looking quite like he wanted to murder someone.
    “Perfection, dear brother,” Rosalind proclaimed, while peeking out the little window next to the door.
    “Utter perfection.”
    Slipping a finger inside his cravat to loosen it a bit, Tristan craned his neck from side to side, easing the
    building tension. “If he kills me, I’ll see to it that you get hanged for murder as well.

    Olivia Parker

  • Jealousy Quote #26

    Believe me,' [...] 'I would know about it. That's the difference between me and your girlfriend. I am the jealous type. I am the Spanish Inquisition when it comes to being fucked around on. No quarter will be given.

    Jonathan Franzen

  • Jealousy Quote #27

    Ben wore the same goofy smile as in the photo. Take that, new guy! I can make him happy too!

    Jay Bell

  • Jealousy Quote #28

    Besides, I'm not jealous. I'm just so in love with you that there isn't anything else.

    Ernest Hemingway

  • Jealousy Quote #29

    Betrayals rarely come from an enemy.

    Aniekee Tochukwu

  • Jealousy Quote #30

    Beware of those who are bitter, for they will never allow you to enjoy your fruit.
