“Love sees sharply, hatred sees even more sharp, but Jealousy sees the sharpest for it is love and hate at the same time” (Arab proverb)

"Jealousy typically refers to the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that occur when a person believes a valued relationship is being threatened by a rival. This rival may or may not know that he or she is perceived as a threat.
According to many authors, jealousy is a complex emotion. (...) The experience of jealousy can last much longer than the one of a basic emotion like anger, without losing its original intensity.
(...) Jealousy is a familiar experience in human relationships. It has been reported in every culture and in many forms where researchers have looked. It has been observed in infants as young as 5-6 months old and in adults over 65 years old."

O! beware, my lord, of jealousy;
It is the green-ey'd monster which doth mock
The meat it feeds on.
--Iago, Act III, scene iii
Think'st thou I'd make a life of jealousy,
To follow still the changes of the moon
With fresh suspicions? No; to be once in doubt,
Is once to be resolved.
--Othello, Act III, scene iii
O curse of marriage,
That we can call these delicate creatures ours,
And not their appetites! I had rather be a toad,
And live upon the vapour of a dungeon,
Than keep a corner in the thing I love
For others' uses.
--Othello, Act III, scene iii
one that lov'd not wisely but too well;
--Othello, Act V, scene ii
