“This grandiose tragedy that we call modern art.”
Salvador Dalí
“The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.”
W. M. Lewis
“Those who are faithful know only the trivial side of love: it is the faithless who know love's tragedies.”
Oscar Wilde
“The tragedy of life and of the world is not that men do not know God; the tragedy is that, knowing Him, they still insist on going their own way.”
William Barclay
“It is frequently the tragedy of the great artist, as it is of the great scientist, that he frightens the ordinary man.”
Loren Eiseley
“Tragedy is the greatest art form of all. It gives us the courage to continue with our life by exposing us to the pain of life. It is unsentimental, it takes us seriously as human beings, it is not condescending. Paradoxically, by seeing pain we are made greater, it becomes a need.”
Howard Barker
“There is always something infinitely mean about other people's tragedies.”
