“The rendering of my thoughts, emotions, and experiences is part comedy and part tragedy as well as history, for life is such a mingling.”

“The process doesn’t end there. Stories are more than just images. As you continue in the tale, you get to know the characters, motivations and conflicts that make up the core of the story. This requires more parts of the brain. Some parts process emotion. Others infer the thoughts of others, letting us empathize with their experiences. Yet other parts package the experience into memories for future reflection”

“Disaster is a natural part of my evolution toward tragedy and dissolution.”

“Disappointments in love, even betrayals and losses, serve the soul at the very moment they seem in life to be tragedies. The soul is partly in time and partly in eternity. We might remember the part that resides in eternity when we feel despair over the part that is in life.”

“Life is a tragedy for those who feel, and a comedy for those who think.”

“Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.”
