Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“In contrast with envy, which usually occurs between two people and is focused upon another persons qualities or possessions, jealousy occurs when a third person becomes a threat to a dyad. Jealousy involves the loss or the impending loss of a relationship that one wants to hold onto, a relationship that is vital to personal fulfillment and claimed as ones own.”
—Carol S. Becker (b. 1942)
“This life is a war we are not yet
winning for our daughters children.
Dont do your enemies work for them.
Finish your own.”
—Marge Piercy (b. 1936)
