Famous quotes containing the words native and/or word:
“The language I have learnt these forty years,
My native English, now I must forgo,
And now my tongues use is to me no more
Than an unstringèd viol or a harp.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“The word jealousy is often used as if it were synonymous with envy; but I think the distinction worth preserving. Jealousy is predominantly concerned with the fear of loss of something one possesses, envy with the wish to own something another possesses. Othello suffers from the fear that he has lost Desdemonas love. Iago suffers from envy of the position held by Cassio, to which he feels entitled.”
—Anthony Storr (b. 1920)
