The jealousy and resentment that animate the terrorists also affect many of our former cold war allies.

On the same line of reasoning, if Australians were to be Australians, or rather if Australians were as separate from any other nation as Australia from any other land, there would be no jealousy between them on England’s account.

Jealousy would be far less torturous if we understood that love is a passion entirely unrelated to our merits.
