Orson Scott Card

The death of one man is tragic, but the death of thousands is statistic.

Joseph Stalin

Crime, violence, infamy are not tragedy. Tragedy occurs when a human soul awakes and seeks, in suffering and pain, to free itself from crime, violence, infamy, even at the cost of life.

Whittaker Chambers

A broken heart is never a tragedy. Only untimely death is a tragedy.

Angela Carter

Tragedy occurs when a human soul awakes and seeks, in suffering and pain, to free itself from crime, violence, infamy, even at the cost of life. The struggle is the tragedy - not defeat or death.

Whittaker Chambers
