Tragedy.”
William Butler Yeats

Mel Brooks
“Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die.”
Mel Brooks

Alan Lightman
“The tragedy of this world is that no one is happy, whether stuck in a time of pain or joy.”
Alan Lightman, Einstein’s Dreams

John Fowles
“The human race is unimportant. It is the self that must not be betrayed."

"I suppose one could say that Hitler didn't betray his self."

"You are right. He did not. But millions of Germans did betray their selves. That was the tragedy. Not that one man had the courage to be evil. But that millions had not the courage to be good.”
John Fowles, The Magus

Jean Racine
“A tragedy need not have blood and death; it's enough that it all be filled with that majestic sadness that is the pleasure of tragedy.”
Jean Racine
