Claimed Descent

Famous quotes containing the words claimed and/or descent:

“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)

“When power becomes gracious and descends into the visible—such descent I call beauty.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
