The desire for possession is insatiable, to such a point that it can survive even love itself. To love, therefore, is to sterilize the person one loves.Albert Camus
Jealousy is both reasonable and belongs to reasonable men, while envy is base and belongs to the base, for the one makes himself get good things by jealousy, while the other does not allow his neighbour to have them through envy.Aristotle
The fickleness of the women I love is only equalled by the infernal constancy of the women who love me.Bernard Shaw
Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.Buddha
Jealousy is bred in doubts. When those doubts change into certainties, then the passion either ceases or turns absolute madness.Francois de La Rochefoucauld
What makes the pain we feel from shame and jealousy so cutting is that vanity can give us no assistance in bearing them.Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Jealousy lives upon doubts. It becomes madness or ceases entirely as soon as we pass from doubt to certainty.Francois de La Rochefoucauld
You can find women who have never had an affair, but it is hard to find a woman who has had just one.Francois de La Rochefoucauld
