It is brave to be involved To be not fearful to be unresolved. - Gwendolyn Brooks

Hateful things sometimes befall the hateful
but the hateful are not rendered lovable thereby.

Art is a refining and evocative translation of the materials of the world.

Tragedy.
She considered that word. On the whole, she felt, life was more comedy than tragedy. Nearly everything that happened had its comic element, not too well buried, either. Sooner or later one could find something to laugh at in almost every situation. That was what, in the last analysis, could keep folks from going mad. The truth was, if you got a good Tragedy out of a lifetime, one good, ripping tragedy, thorough, unridiculous, bottom-scraping, not the issue of human stupidity, you were doing, she thought, very well, you were doing very well.
