tragedy [Theme]
My personal tragedy, which cannot, which should not be anyone else's concern, is that I had to leave my native language, my native dialect, my rich, infinitely rich and obedient Russian language, for the sake of second-rate English.
Quote Explanation: from an interview with Peter Duvall-Smith, 1962.
People fuss and grovel like dogs all day long, hatching conspiracies and intrigues for the sake of petty benefits. They always contradict themselves - such is the tragedy of the little man. Jianghu people can talk about righteous living all they want, but in reality, in other words, they are also trying to get rid of the little man's tragedy.
It's time to realize how much time we waste on sheer nonsense. The world is filled with hatred, violence, blaming everyone for everything. We were once smart animals, but our current state cannot be called anything other than pathology. We're not that smart, apparently. For two thousand years we have been fighting with the best that we have invented - philosophy, art. My cat doesn't understand that he's going to die, but he's smart enough to respect the world around him. And we are stuck in these endless conflicts. So, back to the beginning of my long-winded answer: the main lesson is to recognize the value of what we are given, life itself.
For families, friends, lovers, this is an unbearable loss and tragedy. For another world - another story of death and accompanying losses.
You're Jackson Pollock and you don't paint! This is a tragedy, I can't stand it!
Do you want to know how our family built its empire? Exactly. Opportunities don't care about personal tragedies. They hate us because we take advantage of opportunities and they can't.
You are like an ancient tragedy. Catharsis in a piece of music.
You were my life...
Life drags on its tragedies. It remains to be seen when we will get to the epilogue.
Quote Explanation: Blue Book. Petersburg diary (1914-1917).
No more talk about the tragic side of fame. A tragedy is when no one comes to your concert and you sing for the cleaning lady... But this does not threaten you. You are the master of the situation, you are on the top step of the star ladder. Translated from Latin it means thank you.
Quote Explanation: From an open letter. September 9, 1990.
I so wanted to convey to them the human tragedy through the comedy of the gods.
They laughed and talked, and I could not understand why the world is still moving. Maybe I will never understand how the world can keep moving when the person you love is no more. How do people find the strength to get out of bed in the morning or stand in line at the cashier. Borrow books from the library. Buying fast food on the way home. When tragedy strikes, it seems like everything has to stop, at least for a while.
The best love stories always end tragically.
Love is always a tragedy. At best, for both.
Quote Explanation: (Igor Orlov for the magazine "Own Avalon")
Tragedy is when everyone is right and everyone is wrong.
