#Tragedy

"We pass through this world but once. Few tragedies can be more extensive than the stunting of life, few injustices deeper than the denial of an opportunity to strive or even to hope, by a limit imposed from without, but falsely identified as lying within."

"A lot of tragedy can befall us, but there's always something else; there's always hope."

"A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic."

"I'll sleep forever and meet you in my dreams; it'll hurt less anyway. But the pain of losing you was worth the pleasure of having you, and I rest in bed knowing you'll know for the rest of your life what you are missing.-Karen Quan and Jarod Kintz"

"And then I did what I had never done in his presence, much less in his arms. I cried."

"It’s odd, isn’t it? People die every day and the world goes on like nothing happened. But when it’s a person you love, you think everyone should stop and take notice. That they ought to cry and light candles and tell you that you’re not alone."

"In a world plagued with commonplace tragedies, only one thing exists that truly has the power to save lives, and that is love."

"The tragedy of this world is that no one is happy, whether stuck in a time of pain or joy."

"The world is a tragedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think."

"Weeping is not the same thing as crying. It takes your whole body to weep, and when it's over, you feel like you don't have any bones left to hold you up."

"Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot."

"Who is to decide which is the grimmer sight: withered hearts, or empty skulls?"

"One of the greatest tragedies in life is to lose your own sense of self and accept the version of you that is expected by everyone else."

"It really seems to me that in the midst of great tragedy, there is always the horrible possibility that something terribly funny will happen."

"...you're either gonna spend your life fucking pussy, or taking it to church."

"They know that tragedy is not glamorous. They know it doesn't play out in life as it does on a stage or between the pages of a book. It is neither a punishment meted out nor a lesson conferred. Its horrors are not attributable to one single person. Tragedy is ugly and tangled, stupid and confusing."

"It’s not over if you’re still here,” Chronicler said. “It’s not a tragedy if you’re still alive."

"Were prayers of murderers, when fighting on the “right side” of the war, ever heard—let alone answered?"

"All those who try to unveil the mysteries always have tragic lives. At the end they are always punished."

"We make choices every day, some of them good, some of them bad. And if we are strong enough, we live with the consequences."
