Text Quotes
I’m not an abstractionist. I’m not interested in the relationship of color or form or anything else. I’m interested only in expressing basic human emotions: tragedy, ecstasy, doom, and so on  (Tragedy Quotes) The tragedy is not that things are broken. The tragedy is that things are not mended again  (Tragedy Quotes) As the days piled up into weeks, and the weeks turned into months, and fall slid into winter, I realized one of the great truths about tragedy: You can dream of disappearing. You can wish for oblivion, for endless sleep or the escape of fiction, of walking into a river with your pockets full of stones, of letting the dark water close over your head. But if you’ve got kids, the web of the world holds you close and wraps you tight and keeps you from falling no matter how badly you think you want to fall  (Tragedy Quotes) The tragedy of this world is that no one is happy, whether stuck in a time of pain or joy  (Tragedy Quotes) The tragedy of this world is that everyone is alone. For a life in the past cannot be shared with the present  (Tragedy Quotes) Why does tragedy exist? Because you are full of rage. Why are you full of rage? Because you are full of grief  (Tragedy Quotes) The tragedy of this world is that no one is happy, whether stuck in atime of pain or of joy. The tragedy of this world is that everyone is alone. For a life in the past cannot be shared with the present. Each person who gets stuck in time gets stuck alone  (Tragedy Quotes) The real tragedy of our postcolonial world is not that the majority of people had no say in whether or not they wanted this new world; rather, it is that the majority have not been given the tools to negotiate this new world  (Tragedy Quotes) The tragedy of being both rational and animal seems to consist in having to choose between duty and desire rather than in making any particular choice  (Tragedy Quotes) If my work has a theme, I suspect it is a simple one: that most human beings are inescapably alone, and therein lies their tragedy  (Tragedy Quotes) It is what we see when we imagine what the afterlife must be like: our happiest triumphs, our most sincere moments, stolen from the seam of our lives, a respite just before the onset of imminent tragedy  (Tragedy Quotes) Perhaps the biggest tragedy of our lives is that freedom is possible, yet we can pass our years trapped in the same old patterns  (Tragedy Quotes) Aid workers, when handing out food to starving people, quickly learn that the people fighting for it at the front are the people who need it least. It’s the people sitting quietly at the back, too weak to fight, who need it the most. And so too with tragedy  (Tragedy Quotes) I felt that if a man’s proposals met with approval, it should encourage him; if they met with opposition, it should make him fight back; but the real tragedy for him was to lift up his voice among the living and meet with no response neither approval nor opposition just as if he were left helpless in a boundless desert  (Tragedy Quotes) She had always assumed that she would have years to sort out the meaning of life... As she bent over the child she realized that the tragedy of death had to do entirely with what was left unfulfilled  (Tragedy Quotes) The chilling truth is that his story could have been mine. The tragedy is that my story could have been his  (Tragedy Quotes) Nothing is worth more than laughter. It is strength to laugh and to abandon oneself, to be light. Tragedy is the most ridiculous thing  (Tragedy Quotes) I’m thinking of how unexpected and yet oddly preordained life can be. Events are upon you in an instant, unforseen and without warning, and often times marked with disappointment and tragedy, but equally often leading to a better understanding of the bittersweet truth of life  (Tragedy Quotes) It’s easier to be a character in a story than the star of your own tragedy  (Tragedy Quotes) What I’m trying to describe is that it’s impossible to get out of your skin into somebody else’s... That somebody else’s tragedy is not the same as your own  (Tragedy Quotes) Men walk through tragedy, quietly, calm and precise on the outside, tearing themselves to shreds inside  (Tragedy Quotes) This morning I understand what it means to die: when we disappear, it is the others who die for us, for here I am, lying on a cold pavement and it is not the dying I care about; it has no more meaning this morning that it did yesterday. But never again will I see those I love, and if that is what dying is about then it really is the tragedy they say it is  (Tragedy Quotes) That is the inescapable math of tragedy and the multiplication of grief. Too many good people die a little when they lose someone they love. One death begets two or twenty or one hundred. It’s the same all over the world  (Tragedy Quotes) The greatest tragedy that can befall a man is never to know who he really is  (Tragedy Quotes) In the presence of real tragedy you feel neither pain nor joy nor hatred, only a sense of enormous space and time suspended, the great doors open to black eternity, the rising across the terrible field of that last enormous, unanswerable question  (Tragedy Quotes) When I run the world, librarians will be exempt from tragedy. Even their smaller sorrows will last only for as long as you can take out a book  (Tragedy Quotes) If there is any human tragedy, there is only one, and it occurs when we forget who we are and remain silent while a stranger takes up residence inside our skin  (Tragedy Quotes) If you had to relive your life exactly as it was – same successes and failures, same happiness, same miseries, same mixture of comedy and tragedy – would you want to? Was it worth it?  (Tragedy Quotes) It is an unfortunate personal tragedy. However, when compared to the vast ocean of the collective tragedy faced by my people, my illness is merely a pebble. I am deeply sad that I am crippled by this illness, unable to contribute anything substantial towards the alleviation of the immense suffering and oppression of my people  (Tragedy Quotes) If you have no tragedy, you have no comedy. Crying and laughing are the same emotion. If you laugh too hard, you cry. And vice versa  (Tragedy Quotes)
