More quotes about Jealousy

  • "Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you riding through the ruts, don't complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don't bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality. Wake Up and Live!"

    Bob Marley on Jealousy

More quotes by Julie Burchill

That is, in middle age I moved to a seaside town and got into a right barney with the local powers-that-be."

  • "As a child, I wanted only two things - to be left alone to read my library books, and to get away from my provincial hometown and go to London to be a writer. And I always knew that when I got there, I wanted to make loads of money."

  • "Surely being a Professional Beauty - let alone an ageing one - is one of the most insecure and doomed careers imaginable."

  • "My second husband believed I had such a fickle attitude to friendship that each Friday he would update the list of my 'Top Ten' friends in the manner of a Top Of The Pops chart countdown."
