Quote by H. L. Mencken, A Mencken Chresto
Jealousy is the theory that some other fellow has just as little taste.
Summary
This quote humorously suggests that jealousy arises from the belief that someone else has equally poor taste as oneself. It implies that jealousy stems from a subjective judgment about what is desirable or valuable, rather than being rooted in objective truths. Essentially, it highlights the irrationality of feeling envious of others based on the assumption that they have the same lack of good judgment or discernment in their choices.
