"Jealousy is not at all low, but it catches us humbled and bowed down, at first sight." ― Sidonie Gabrielle Colette Topic(s): Jealousy More From Sidonie Gabrielle Colette "It is wise to apply the oil of refined politeness to the mechanism of friendship." "A woman who thinks she is intelligent demands the same rights as man. An intelligent woman gives up." "Be happy. It’s one way of being wise." More In Jealousy "There is a sort of jealousy which needs very little fire; it is hardly a passion, but a blight bred in the cloudy, damp despondency of uneasy egoism."― George Eliot "Jealousy, that dragon which slays love under the pretence of keeping it alive."― Havelock Ellis "Jealousy is the fear or apprehension of superiority: envy our uneasiness under it."― William Shenstone
