"So full of artless jealousy is guilt,..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“One half of me is yours, the other half is yours, Mine own, I would say; but if mine, then yours, And so all yours.”

“With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come.”

“Your cause of sorrow must not be measured by his worth, for then it hath no end.”

“Someone must have slandered Josef K., for one morning, without having done anything truly wrong, he was arrested.”

“Emotional occasions, especially violent ones, are extremely potent in precipitating mental rearrangements. The sudden and explosive ways in which love, jealousy, guilt, fear, remorse, or anger can seize upon one are known to everybody. . . . And emotions that come in this explosive way seldom leave things as they found them.”

“Action and care will in time wear down the strongest frame, but guilt and melancholy are poisons of quick dispatch.”

“Anyone can sympathize with the sufferings of a friend, but it requires a very fine nature to sympathize with a friend's success.”

“Rejoice in the prosperity of others. When you feel contemptuous, or even a twinge of jealousy, toward the accomplishments or life-styles of others, you are harboring negativity where love must reside.”

“I am jealous of everything whose beauty does not die. I am jealous of the portrait you have painted of me. Why should it keep what I must lose? Every moment that passes takes something from me and gives something to it. Oh, if it were only the other way! If the picture could change, and I could be always what I am now! Why did you paint it? It will mock me some day—mock me horribly!”
