Close Relationship

Famous quotes containing the words close and/or relationship:

    I became, and remain, my characters’ close and intent watcher: their director, never. Their creator I cannot feel that I was, or am.
    Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

    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)
