Tragedy Quotes
-
The tragedy of music is that it begins with perfection.
Morton Feldman

The sense of tragedy - according to Aristotle - comes, ironically enough, not from the protagonist's weak points but from his good qualities. Do you know what I'm getting at? People are drawn deeper into tragedy not by their defects but by their virtues. ... But we accept irony through a device called metaphor. And through that we grow and become deeper human beings.
Haruki Murakami

But paradoxically, it is a realization of the existence, that positive, that keeps many Nigerians and even foreign people going.

Arthur Conan Doyle
-
The murder of a dozen innocent people is unquestionably a human tragedy. But that is no excuse for reacting blindly by preventing hundreds of thousands of other people from defending themselves against meeting the same fate.
Thomas Sowell
