Envied Quotes
The quiet ache of wanting someone else's life.
These envied quotes come from people admitting, often reluctantly, that they wished they had someone else's talent, freedom, or choices. One writer envies a fellow playwright's craft, another envies classmates who went to college. It's a more honest emotion than most people let on, much like the confessions found in Alone quotes.

I noticed the drama majors on campus when I was at Notre Dame. They just seemed to be freer spirits than the rest of us. There was joy in their work; they were the only ones studying something whose work made them happy. I envied that.

I enjoy the collaboration. I always envied people in bands who got to have that interaction. I've done so many albums where I've been in the studio for 14 hours a day for six months just trying to come up with things on my own. It's a nice change helping other people with their music and not being all about what I'm trying to do myself.
