"Because my jealousy is not your responsibility, and to restrict you because of it is wrong. I once read, 'jealousy is merely fear in a funny hat'. All jealousy is born of fear. But what do I fear? That you will leave me for someone else? Ma petite, if you would have done so, it would have happened by now. That others will take time that belongs to me? I might as well be jealous of your work, or of the police. Any time you give me is a gift; it does not belong to me in the first place. So what is there to fear? And without fear, what power does jealousy have?"
