Close Relationship

Famous quotes containing the words close and/or relationship:

    I close my eyes over the steaming
    tea and see God opening His teeth.

    I see the child in me writing, “Oh.”
    Oh, my dear, not why.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    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)
