“Jealousy is never satisfied with anything short of an omniscience that would detect the subtlest fold of the heart.”
— George Eliot

Simplified Meaning:
When someone feels jealous, they want to know everything about the person they are jealous of. They aren't happy just knowing a little bit. They want to understand every small, hidden detail about that person’s thoughts and feelings. For instance, imagine your friend gets a new job that you really wanted. If you’re jealous, you might constantly think about why they got the job and not you. You might want to know every little detail about how they behave at work or what they might say about you to others. This desire to know everything can make you feel even worse and unhappy. To avoid this, try to focus on your own strengths and celebrate others' successes, finding peace in what you have and your own journey.
