― Rasheed Ogunlaru

“I wanted all of his attention. I wished I could fill it into a bottle and carry it around with me. I wanted to bathe in it. I wanted his gaze to stay fixed on me, only me. I wanted to stare into those beautiful gray eyes for as long as I lived.”
― J.C. Böhme, His Savior

“Jealousy. It’s an ugly word. It has a bad reputation. But in the end, it’s an instinctive feeling. It’s not something we choose to feel any more than anger or pain. It is how we react to it that is the key.”
― Linda Maria

“Claireâ€� It is not what you think. Won’t you please allow me to explain? Please. Allow me to speak with you.â€�
It was more tempting than she liked.
“There is nothing to say. We both know what I saw.�
She paused.
“Now go away.� Her tone was as aloof as she could manage between tears that would not stop.
She saw the handle turn.
“Don’t you dare!� She took a pre-emptive step back.
But he did dare. The door opened slowly.
“Are you…dressed?�
“Of course, I am dressed!� she said furiously. “I am packing. Kindly have a carriage ordered.� It was a lie but he would not know that. Her case was still open on the window seat.
He pushed the door open wider.
He did not look like a man who had come from the arms of another woman. His face was not flushed with desire. It looked rather drawn in fact.
But what did she know of such things? Perhaps that woman had merely exhausted him.
“I did not invite her here, Claire. I did not even know she was coming.�
He pushed locks of dark hair from his eyes. Claire bit her lip, thinking of how she had looked forward to touching those waves, brushing it possessively off his face herself.
“Serafina does what she pleases. As you can see, she has no sense of propriety or discretion. She believes she owns Isabel and I even still. Even though, after her unforgiveable actions, she quite thoroughly relinquished rights to us both some time ago. I do not believe Isabel has pardoned her yet. I certainly will not.�
He looked at her, eyes wide and beseeching. Not a hint of pride or arrogance.
“She does not want me to be happy without her, Claire,� he said softly. “She must have found out I was to be married and she came with all haste. This is exactly what she was hoping for—or nearly so. When you walked in…�
“Oh? Nearly so?� Fury twisted inside her. “I apologize for intruding so unexpectedly, for interrupting your passionate liaison. I suppose if Isabel and I had not walked in, you would still be there even now. On the floor together perhaps.�
Thomas looked taken aback, then angry. “Of course not! Do you really think me so�? Is that what you believe, Claire? You did exactly what Serafina hoped you would do. Reacted with anger and jealousy, blamed me, and stormed out.�
“Jealousy!� Claire exclaimed, drawing herself up. “I assure you—I am not jealous in the least. If she wants you, she is welcome to have you. I did not want you in the first place, as you will recall.�
He flinched. If she did not know better, she might almost have believed him to be hurt.
She swallowed hard.
“What have I to be jealous of? The fact that you prefer your mistress to…� Oh, no. Her voice was catching in her throat. “…to� me…� She hiccupped embarrassingly, tears flowing over.
All of a sudden Thomas’s arms were around her, holding her firmly to his chest. “Claire� No, no…� he whispered.
Her cheek was pressed up rather roughly against his tailcoat. He smelled so good. She closed her eyes, her body relaxing against him.
There was another smell there. An overpoweringly sweet scent of lilacs. She pushed herself away, hands against his chest.
“You smell of her.�
He looked horrified.
Horrified that he did? Or horrified that she had noticed? Did he smell of her from head to toe?
Claire felt nauseous.”

“I hate you because your father loves you even though you’re a human brat born to his unfaithful wife, while mine never cared for me, though I am a prince of Faerie. I hate you because you don’t have a brother who beats you. And I hate you because Locke used you and your sister to make Nicasia cry after he stole her from me.

“Denny wrapped one arm around me, and I was suddenly warm despite the chill in the air. My heart was doing Double Dutch until the look on Liam’s face tripped it up.

― Candice Jarrett, Mortal Tether

“To get things done, you must show up, to attract allies, you must make your intention public. Showing up and making your intention public will rub the wrong people the wrong way. But just DON'T STOP!”

“He had gathered all the girls from school around him from the very first day. Well, in fact, I hated him for that because he became popular just as the result of his rich parents and handsome charismatic appearance. Maybe I was just jealous for all that sort of attention because secretly deep down I wanted the same, I wanted appreciation, even though it was only because of my exterior traits.”
― Dari A. Malaunt, Horns of Revenge

“Whatever the shade of green we experience towards our loved one â€� envy or jealousy or both â€� those are challenging times.

is satisfied you’ve had the awareness of them in any case.”

“It is human nature to compare ourselves to others. The key to self-love, motivation and growth is shifting your focus from the results to the process. Instead of comparing outcomes, compare the choices and actions that created them. Don’t just wish for change—commit to it. Trade envy for action, longing for progress, and take the first step toward becoming who you are meant to be. You have the power to embody your best self in every moment, achieve your goals and turn your dreams into reality.”
― Lauren Martin, Jealousy is the Moon

“I never envy what I don’t know how it was obtained.”
― Marion Bekoe

“Negative jealousy on your partner is a toxic poison that chokes the life out of love. It's a selfish and unreasonable emotion that says, 'I don't trust you, I don't trust us, and I don't trust love itself.' Let's choose to love without suffocating each other with jealousy.”
― Shaila Touchton
