Tragedy Quotes (page 8)

In their opinion, a tragedy with so little plot could not conform with the rules of drama. I enquired whether they were complaining that they had found my play boring. I was told that none of them was bored, that they were often touched by it, and that they would go and see it again with pleasure. What more do they want? Jean Racine
Norman Cousins quote: "The tragedy of life is not death but what we let die inside of..."
The tragedy of life is not death but what we let die inside of us while we live. Norman Cousins
Time and tragedy have forced her to grow too quickly, at least for my taste, into a young woman who stitches bleeding wounds and knows our mother can hear only so much. Suzanne Collins
The refusal to take sides on great moral issues is itself a decision. It is a silent acquiescence to evil. The Tragedy of our time is that those who still believe in honesty lack fire and conviction, while those who believe in dishonesty are full of passionate conviction. Fulton J. Sheen
Gilbert K. Chesterton quote: "Always be comic in a tragedy"
Always be comic in a tragedy Gilbert K. Chesterton
Time ticks by; we grow older. Before we know it, too much time has passed and we've missed the chance to have other people hurt us. To a younger me this sounded like luck; to an older me this sounds like quite a tragedy. Doug Coupland
Chuck Palahniuk quote: "Marla's philosophy of life, she told me, is that she can die..."
Marla's philosophy of life, she told me, is that she can die at any moment. The tragedy of her life is that she doesn't. Chuck Palahniuk
Comedy and tragedy are so mixed up in life, Gilbert. The only thing that haunts me is that tale of the two who lived together fifty years and hated each other all that time. I can't believe they really did. Somebody has said that 'hate is only love that has missed its way.' I feel sure that under the hatred they really loved each other . . . just as I really loved you all those years I thought I hated you . . . and I think death would show it to them. I'm glad I found out in life. L. M. Montgomery
Night is purer than day; it is better for thinking and loving and dreaming. At night everything is more intense, more true. The echo of words that have been spoken during the day takes on a new and deeper meaning. The tragedy of man is that he doesn't know how to distinguish between day and night. He says things at night that should only be said by day. Elie Wiesel
William Butler Yeats quote: "The Irishman sustains himself during brief periods of joy by..."
The Irishman sustains himself during brief periods of joy by the knowledge that tragedy is just around the corner. William Butler Yeats
Miguel de Unamuno quote: "And killing time is perhaps the essence of comedy, just as the..."
And killing time is perhaps the essence of comedy, just as the essence of tragedy is killing eternity. Miguel de Unamuno
Gilbert K. Chesterton quote: "Always be comic in a tragedy. What the deuce else can you do?"
Always be comic in a tragedy. What the deuce else can you do? Gilbert K. Chesterton
If the whole world is evil, then the tragedy that befell you is justified," she went on. "That would make it easier for you to accept the deaths of your wife and daughters. But if good people do exist, then, however much you deny it, your life will be unbearable; because fate set a trap for you, and you know you didn't deserve it. It isn't the light you want to recover, it's the certainty that there is only darkness. Paulo Coelho
You squeeze the eyedropper, and a drop of pond water drips out onto the microscope stage. You look at the projected image. The drop is full of life - strange beings swimming, crawling, tumbling; high dramas of pursuit and escape, triumph and tragedy. This is a world populated by beings far more exotic than in any science fiction movie... Carl Sagan
And how about the "Daily Odes to the Benefactor"? Who can read them without bowing his head reverently before the selfless labor of this Number of Numbers? Or the terrible blood-red beauty of the "Flowers of Judicial Verdicts"? Or the immortal tragedy, "Lat for Work"? Or the bedside book of "Stanzas on Sexual Hygiene"? Yevgeny Zamyatin
