Quote by Paula Lafferty

“I need a trustworthy messenger to ride fast ahead of us and bring word that we're coming," Arthur said. Vera released a relieved breath. But then he continued. "But truthfully, it's because you haven't done anything wrong, and I might kill you." Tristan's eyes went wide. “You're in love with my wife, and you actively want to bed her," he said with a calm that somehow made it that much more alarming. "So I might end up killing you if you stay.”

“This is all because I danced with—” He tilted his head, all the better to lavish her neck with furious, biting kisses. “I rather doubt dancing was all your suitors had in mind.” “If so, that’s their problem, not mine!

“The truth is that everyone is undergoing some sort of pain which they won’t talk about. Everybody hates some aspect of their life. The person you may see having a nice time abroad may be going through a real stressful time with his boss humiliating him daily. The person that seems perfectly healthy may have a horrible condition he refuses to talk about. People clicking photographs with their spouses as if they are in heaven maybe facing greatest marital discords. When you realize that truth is not what always what it seems on the surface, you will automatically be able to shift perspective and realize everyone’s life has a little bit of heaven and a little bit of hell. By shifting perspective, you can learn how to deal with jealousy better. It is up to you whether you want to enjoy the heaven or complain about the hell.”

“One of the best ways to learn how to deal with jealousy productively is to identify the root cause of what is causing your jealousy. If someone gets a big car or house or something, is it really their material possessions that bother you or is there something deeper that you crave? Going from this example you may analyse your jealousy and come to a conclusion to it may not be riches you want but maybe the respect and adulation from society that come along with it. If you go after the material possessions without knowing your true desires, you may not be happy even if you get them, because what you really wanted was something else.”
