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.
If I could believe that this was said sincerely, I could put up with anything.
Have there ever been more submissive slaves? Adoring, even in their irons, the God who punishes them.
He who has far to ride spares his horse.
Often it is fatal to live too long.
And do you count for nothing God who fights for us?
