#Tragedy

"I have good news and I have bad news. The good news is that your house hasn't burned down, you don't have cancer, and your daughter hasn't been raped or murdered. The bad news is that I ran over your dog. And your son. And his wife. But not before I ran out of gas to achieve all of that."

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

"The life of every individual, viewed as a whole and in general, and when only its most significant features are emphasized, is really a tragedy; but gone through in detail it has the character of a comedy."

"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."

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

"When tragedy hits close to home, like your neighbor’s house, it really makes you stop and think. And while you’re thinking, I’ll be speeding off in the getaway car."

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

"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."

"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."

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

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

"Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die."

"There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart's desire. The other is to gain it."
