    “In contrast with envy, which usually occurs between two people and is focused upon another person’s 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 one’s own.”
    —Carol S. Becker (b. 1942)

    “Men insist that they don’t mind women succeeding so long as they retain their “femininity”.

    —Elizabeth Gould Davis (b. 1910)
