Isabel Allende on envy

Photographs deceive time, freezing it on a piece of cardboard where the soul is silent.

The written word is an act of human solidarity. I write so that people will love each other more.

For women, the best aphrodisiacs are words. The G-spot is in the ears. He who looks for it below there is wasting his time.

Such men as he be never at heart’s ease whiles they behold a greater than themselves, and therefore are they very dangerous.

William Shakespeare1564–1616Julius Caesar (1623), Julius Cæsar (1599), Act I, scene 2, line 208.In context

Love looks through a telescope; envy, through a microscope.

Josh Billings1818–1885

I am Envy. I cannot read and therefore wish all books burned.

Christopher Marlowe1564–1593
