Life contains but two tragedies. One is not to get your heart’s desire; the other is to get it.
tragediesquotes
The saddest of all tragedies – the wasted life.
The most spiritual human beings, assuming they are the most courageous, also experience by far the most painful tragedies: but it is precisely for this reason that they honor life, because it brings against them its most formidable weapons.
Tragedies are all right for a while: you are concerned, you are curious, you feel good. And then it gets repetitive, it doesn’t advance, it grows dreadfully boring: it is so very boring, even for me.
Genuine tragedies in the world are not conflicts between right and wrong. They are conflicts between two rights.
