The world censures those who take up arms to defend their causes and calls on them to use nonviolent means in voicing their grievances. But when a people chooses the nonviolent path, it is all too often the case that hardly anyone pays attention. It is tragic that people have to suffer and die and the television cameras have to deliver the pictures to people’s homes every day before the world at large admits there is a problem Picture Quote #1

You can’t be funny unless you’re tragic, and you can’t be tragic unless you’re funny Picture Quote #1

Take death for example. A great deal of our effort goes into avoiding it. We make extraordinary efforts to delay it, and often consider its intrusion a tragic event. Yet we’d find it hard to live without it. Death gives meaning to our lives. It gives importance and value to time. Time would become meaningless if there were too much of it Picture Quote #1

That’s just tragic, that you can spend four years of your life studying the design of three dimensional objects and not make one Picture Quote #1

I do feel ashamed of having participated to the slightest even as a tool in those dark days. But I was obliged to serve the state to which I had taken an oath. It was a tragic fate Picture Quote #1

The tragic reality is that very few sustainable systems are designed or applied by those who hold power, and the reason for this is obvious and simple: to let people arrange their own food, energy and shelter is to lose economic and political control over them. We should cease to look to power structures, hierarchical systems, or governments to help us, and devise ways to help ourselves Picture Quote #1

Whenever you’re down on your luck, and when things aren’t going the way you like, remember that you are the author of your own story. You can write it any way you like, with anyone you choose. And it can be a beautiful story or a sad and tragic one. You get to pick Picture Quote #1

In fact, most deaths are not tragic. Few people die because of a flaw in character, which is the essential element of tragedy. They just die Picture Quote #1

Theatre is a concentrate of life as normal. Theatre is a purified version of real life, an extraction, an essence of human behaviour that is stranger and more tragic and more perfect than everything that is ordinary about me and you Picture Quote #1

There is a strange kind of tragic enigma associated with the problem of racism. No one, or almost no one, wishes to see themselves as racist; still racism persists, real and tenacious Picture Quote #1

To joke in the face of danger is the supreme politeness, a delicate refusal to cast oneself as a tragic hero Picture Quote #1

My father’s death from prostate cancer in 1993 was tragic. He never complained about pain. He was a fighter. By the time he was ready to die he wasn’t able to die in the way that he wanted to, which seemed an outrage to me Picture Quote #1

Accidents happen, whether they’re car accidents, friendly fire, drug overdoses. Accidents happen, and they’re tragic.

It’s the families that need the compassion, because everywhere they walk, every day, someone reminds them of their loss Picture Quote #1

I tried once in my life to write a novel. I had written something like 80 pages of it when my laptop got stolen. When I told people this, they acted as if something tragic had happened, but I kind of felt relieved, grateful to the thief who saved me from another year of something that felt more like homework than fun Picture Quote #1

I’ve seen enough successful writers who no longer seem to care when they are recognized with an award, and I think that’s just tragic Picture Quote #1

Four children with whom I spend a good part of every day: bathing them, combing their hair, sitting with them while they do their homework, holding them while they weep their tragic tears. But I’m not in love with any of them. I am in love with my husband Picture Quote #1

I don’t react to a tragic happening any more. I took so many bad things as a kid and some people think I don’t care about anything. It’s just too hard for me to get emotional. I can’t cry no more Picture Quote #1

The passing of an ordinary man is sad. The passing of a great man is tragic, and doubly tragic when the greatness passes before the man does Picture Quote #1

Dogs have fleas; people have each other. We are born to die. Life is a continuing tragic comedy. Everything and everyone we love suffers. Anybody who doesn’t see that has not grown up and known life Picture Quote #1
