A tragedy is a tragedy, and at the bottom, all tragedies are stupid. Give me a choice and I'll take A Midsummer Night's Dream over Hamlet every time.
The secret of tragedy is that it is meant to be a lesson to us, a warning against arrogance.
The tragedy of modern man is not that he knows less and less about the meaning of his own life, but that it bothers him less and less.
In the tragic situation, one does not choose his problems; rather, he stands where the finger of fate points.
What separates the winners from the losers is how a person reacts to each new twist of fate.
Tragedy is restful: and the reason is that hope, that foul, deceitful thing, has no part in it.
