X) Jealousy is never satisfied with anything short of an omniscience that would detect the subtlest fold of the heart. - George Eliot (pseudonym of Mary Ann Evans Cross), The Mill on the Floss (bk.

Gloomy was Heaven; bright Phoebus did avow He would be coy, and would not love at all; Swearing no greater mischief could be wrought, Than love united to a jealous thought. - Robert Greene, Jealousy Jealousy is said to be the offspring of Love.

[Fr., Les hommes sont la cause que les femmes ne s'aiment point.] - Jean de la Bruyere To doubt is an injury; to suspect a friend is breach of friendship; jealousy is a seed sown but in vicious minds; prone to distrust, because apt to deceive. - George Lansdowne Jealousy is always born with love, but does not always die with it. - Francois Duc de la Rochefoucauld Jealousy is not love, but self-love. - Francois Duc de la Rochefoucauld In jealousy there is more self-love than love. - Francois Duc de la Rochefoucauld, Maxims (no. 334) The jealous is possessed by a "fine mad devil" and a dull spirit at once. - Johann Kaspar Lavater (John Caspar Lavater) No true love there can be without Its dread penalty--jealousy. - Lord Edward Robert Bulwer Lytton, 1st Earl of Lytton ("Owen Meredith"), Lucile (pt. II, canto I, st. 24, l. 8) The way to hold a husband is to keep him a little jealous; the way to lose him is to keep him a little more jealous. - Henry Louis Mencken Jealousy is the injured lover's hell. - John Milton Nor jealousy Was understood, the injur'd lover's hell. - John Milton, Paradise Lost (bk. V, l. 449) Can't I another's face commend, Or to her virtues be a friend, But instantly your forehead louers, As if her merit lessen'd yours? - Edward Moore, The Farmer, the Spaniel, and the Cat (fable 9, l. 5) O jealousy, Thou ugliest fiend of hell! thy deadly venom Preys on my vitals, turns the healthful hue Of my flesh cheek to haggard sallowness, And drinks my spirit up! - Hannah More, David and Goliath (pt. V) Displaying page 2 of 4 for this topic: << Prev Next >> 1 [2] 3 4
