Quote by Irving Layton

My neighbor doesn't want to be loved as much as he wants to be envied.

My neighbor doesn't want to be loved as much as he wants to

Summary

This quote suggests that the person's neighbor prioritizes being envied by others over being loved. Rather than seeking affection and connection, they are more interested in having others admire and be jealous of what they have or who they are. This might imply that the neighbor values material possessions, social standing, or status symbols, and seeks validation through being the object of envy.
