More on Tragedy
“Comedy is tragedy revisited.”
“Marriage -- yes, it is the supreme felicity of life. I concede it. And it is also the supreme tragedy of life. The deeper the love the surer the tragedy. And the more disconsolating when it comes.”
“In tragedy great men are more truly great than in history. We see them only in the crises which unfold them.”
More on Suffering
“Clergymen and people who use phrases without wisdom sometimes talk of suffering as a mystery. It is really a revelation.”
“I must say to myself that I ruined myself, and that nobody great or small can be ruined except by his own hand. I am quite ready to say so. ... Terrible as was what the world did to me, what I did to myself was far more terrible still.”
