Close Relationship

Famous quotes containing the words close and/or relationship:

    Extraordinary creature! So close a friend, and yet so remote.
    Thomas Mann (1875–1955)

    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)
