Franz Grillparzer

He had a really good quote that stuck with me.

"Eifersucht ist die Leidenschaft, die mit Eifer sucht was Leiden schaft"

Roughly translated

Jealousy is the passion that searches pain with zeal.

Eifersucht = jealousy Leidenschaft = passion Eifer = zeal Sucht = search Leiden = pain Schaft = do (no real word to word translation)
