#tragedi

Yeah, like, when I look back on my life, I just remember back what happened in '74, or something. It seems like only the real good stuff comes to mind. I don't think of all the tragedies and all the funerals. That just doesn't come to mind at all. I guess I'm really blessed that way. ↗

All writers are liars. They twist events to suit themselves. They make use of their own tragedies to make a better story... They are terrible people. ↗

Disappointments in love, even betrayals and losses, serve the soul at the very moment they seem in life to be tragedies. The soul is partly in time and partly in eternity. We might remember the part that resides in eternity when we feel despair over the part that is in life. ↗

There is always something infinitely mean about other people's tragedies. ↗

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. ↗

Some people with awful cards can be successful because of how they deal with the tragedies they're handed, and that seems courageous to me. ↗
