#Tragedy

"You are the storyteller and the editor of your book of life. So write tales of imagination, tragedy, and adventure and illustrate it with the colors of beauty."

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

"I'm sure there are people who survive tragedy without humor, but I've never met any of them. Nor would I be particularly interested in writing about them if I did meet them."

"Stop counting your losses and start counting your blessings. Only then will you discover that losses are always easier to point out and count than blessings. And that your blessings will always outnumber your losses, for they are truly immeasurable."

"For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo."

"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."

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

"Tragedy is restful: and the reason is that hope, that foul, deceitful thing, has no part in it."

"Humor is merely tragedy standing on its head with its pants torn."

"There is a thin line that separates laughter and pain, comedy and tragedy, humor and hurt."

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

"We may be helpless to stop bad things from happening, but perhaps God leaves us signs and road maps to help us recover and reconnect, provided we know where to look."

"A lot of you cared, just not enough."

"I don't think it's possible to have a sense of tragedy without having a sense of humor."

"The courage of life is often a less dramatic spectacle than the courage of a final moment; but it is no less a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy."

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

"I do have a point to all this,” she continues. “There are like twenty people in that waiting room right now. Some of them are related to you. Some of them are not. But we’re all your family.” She stops now. Leans over me so that the wisps of her hair tickle my face. She kisses me on the forehead. “You still have a family,” she whispers."

"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."

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

"A tragedy need not have blood and death; it's enough that it all be filled with that majestic sadness that is the pleasure of tragedy."
