“There are some emotions which are so quiet that they slip past before we’ve even had a chance to spot them, like that momentary sense of comfort which makes your hand reach out for a familiar brand at the supermarket.”
Tiffany Watt Smith, The Book of Human Emotions: An Encyclopaedia of Feeling from Anger to Wanderlust

“it may in fact be more painful to be relatively deprived than to be actually deprived.”
Tiffany Watt Smith, Schadenfreude: The Joy of Another's Misfortune

“Envy amplifies other people's successes, and makes our own seem paler by comparison.”
Tiffany Watt Smith, Schadenfreude: The Joy of Another's Misfortune
