“Envy occurs most commonly and painfully among friends. We assume that something in the course of the relationship caused the friend to turn against us. Sometimes all we experience is the betrayal, the sabotage, the ugly criticisms they throw at us, and we never understand the underlying envy that inspired these actions. What we need to grasp is something paradoxical: people who feel envy in the first place are often motivated to become our friends.”
― Robert Greene, The Laws of Human Nature: Robert Greene

“We want something that’s very passionate, or boiling, from the get-go. In the past, people weren’t looking for something boiling; they just needed some water. Once they found it and committed to a life together, they did their best to heat things up. Now, if things aren’t boiling, committing to marriage seems premature.”
― Aziz Ansari, Modern Romance: An Investigation

“If passionate love is the coke of love, companionate love is like having a glass of wine or smoking a few hits of some mild weed.”
― Aziz Ansari, Modern Romance: An Investigation
