"Man is jealous because of his amour propre; woman is jealous because of her lack of it." ― Germaine Greer Topic(s): Jealousy More From Germaine Greer "English culture is basically homosexual in the sense that the men only really care about other men." "Never advise anyone to go to war or to get married. Write down the advice of him who loves you, though you like it not at present. He that has no children brings them up well." "The sight of women talking together has always made men uneasy; nowadays it means rank subversion." More In Jealousy "Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined."― Patrick Henry "A competent and self-confident person is incapable of jealousy in anything. Jealousy is invariably a symptom of neurotic insecurity."― Robert A. Heinlein "Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting."― George Orwell
