True Position

Famous quotes containing the words true and/or position:

“The great mass of people judge well of things, for they are in natural ignorance, which is man’s true state.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

“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 Desdemona’s love. Iago suffers from envy of the position held by Cassio, to which he feels entitled.”
—Anthony Storr (b. 1920)
