"Jealousy, if we take it that way, is a true and understandable emotion, since it wants nothing more than to preserve what is ours, or what we think is ours; envy, on the other hand, is pure rage, which cannot bear that someone else has something.

Jealousy, if we take it that way, is a true and understandable emotion, since it wants nothing more than to preserve what is ours, or what we think is ours; envy, on the other hand, is pure rage, which cannot bear that someone else has something.
"Hungarian
"A féltékenység, ha úgy vesszük, igaz és érthető indulat, hiszen nem kíván mást, mint megőrizni, ami a miénk, vagy amiről azt hisszük, hogy a miénk; az irigység viszont puszta düh, mely nem képes elviselni, hogy másnak is legyen valamije."
