Quotes about tragedy:
In this world there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.
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.
Fables should be taught as fables, myths as myths, and miracles as poetic fantasies. To teach superstitions as truths is a most terrible thing. The child mind accepts and believes them, and only through great pain and perhaps tragedy can he be in after years relieved of them.
Quotes for: tree
The greatness of man is great in that he knows himself to be miserable. A tree does not know itself to be miserable.
Great talents are the most lovely and often the most dangerous fruits on the tree of humanity. They hang upon the most slender twigs that are easily snapped off.
The tree of knowledge is not the tree of life! And yet can we cast out of our spirits all the good or evil poured into them by so many learned generations? Ignorance cannot be learned.
