There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.

Oscar Wilde

The tragedy of life is what dies in the hearts and souls of people while they live.

Albert Einstein

Genuine tragedies in the world are not conflicts between right and wrong. They are conflicts between two rights.

Hebbel

I've got a peculiar weakness for criminals and artists-neither takes life as it is. Any tragic story has to be in conflict with things as they are.

Stanley Kubrick

The real tragedy is the tragedy of the man who never in his life braces himself for his one supreme effort, who never stretches to his full capacity, never stands up to his full stature.

Arnold Bennett

In tragedy every moment is eternity; in comedy, eternity is a moment.

Oscar Wilde

Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.

Benjamin Franklin

The deepest definition of youth is life as yet untouched by tragedy.

Alfred North Whitehead

Comedy is tragedy plus time.

Carol Burnett

Losing a game is heartbreaking. Losing your sense of excellence or worth is a tragedy.

Joe Paterno

If America shows weakness and uncertainty, the world will drift toward tragedy. That will not happen on my watch.

George W. Bush

Grief and tragedy and hatred are only for a time. Goodness, remembrance and love have no end.

History is moving, and it will tend toward hope, or tend toward tragedy.

George W. Bush

Hard work without talent is a shame, but talent without hard work is a tragedy.

Robert Half

It usually takes a major tragedy for these things to come about, but not too many cities do this. I just felt it was needed.

Jerry Peterson

A tragedy of this magnitude calls for the assistance of able individuals and organizations, ... As a company, we are grateful to help relief efforts in the most fitting way possible.

Jeff M. Fettig

This is a colossal tragedy for the 49ers and the entire NFL community.

Aaron Salkin

Every man of genius sees the world at a different angle from his fellows, and there is his tragedy.

Havelock Ellis

In law enforcement, there's a time when you have to disassociate yourself from tragedy because if you can't, it'll destroy you, ... There's a point in an investigation where you're still working on it, but you have to keep things in perspective or you won't make it to retirement.

Patrick Lynch

The greatest tragedy in mankind's entire history may be the hijacking of morality by religion.

Arthur C. Clarke

Dave has a moment when he's young where he tries to talk to his mother, who just shuts him down, ... From that point on, Dave had to create someone else; that's where his problems begin. That's the tragedy of his character: He's been hiding it for too long. He doesn't know himself.

Dennis Lehane

Lots of business opportunities come out of tragedy. It's the capitalist way of life. I think the a market for airport-friendly merchandise is a good thing.

Candace Corlett

It is frequently the tragedy of the great artist, as it is of the great scientist, that he frightens the ordinary man.

Loren Eiseley

A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic.

Joseph Stalin

We understand that the panel created by the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate the ULTRA tragedy has yet to submit its findings on February 18, 2006.

Mario Bautista

This text messaging campaign is yet another tool for parents to use to keep their kids protected. All too often, the joy of prom season is overshadowed by tragedy. We want to prevent that this year and encourage parents to register and send their teens a message and - most importantly -- talk to teens about the importance of making responsible decisions as they become young adults.

Jack Church

Our hope is there are several families that are celebrating that lives have been saved because of this tragedy.

Mark Nation

I think it's a tragedy when you have things like this that interrupt the flow of good legislative policy.

Lou D'allesandro

It is a tragedy of the world that no one knows what he doesn't know -- the less a man knows, the more sure it is that he knows everything.

Joyce Cary

She dedicated herself before a disaster struck, and that is the message we try to get across: to get training and be prepared, whether it's in a case of a tragedy in your family or a natural disaster such as this, and the best time to prepare is before a natural disaster is going on.

Mike Adametz

The human tragedy as a result of Katrina is staggering, and I know Crimson Tide fans will do what they can to help those who are not able to immediately return to their homes.

Mal Moore

Humor is merely tragedy standing on its head with its pants torn.

Irvin S. Cobb

We in New Orleans are a people of faith, ... What if this tragedy should push ourselves to a greater good.

C. Hughes

My life is over, but all you out there still live. I hope every one of you learn to love from this tragedy.

Chai Soua Vang

Community service is one of the tenets we teach at the CCC. It does connect them with the tragedy. They are begging to come with me, but it's impossible.

Gary Ray

It was a tragedy that if you had 50 officers standing around, it probably wouldn't have made a difference.

Aaron Edwards

There's a huge disparity between what you see on-screen and off camera, ... There's a lot of tragedy and pain. Their ability to hide it is just awesome.

Andrew Miller

We've tried our best to draft the policy in a way so that Nigerian tragedy is not repeated in Bangladesh.

Nazrul Islam

I for one believe that not enough has been made of the tragedy of the destruction of 6 million Jews. Somebody has to cry-even if it's a writer, 20 years later.

Bernard Malamud

Since we found out about what happened, we put our heads together. We knew we wanted to do something - first, to bring attention to their tragedy, and second, since those (West Brook) girls can't play, to somehow have them play on through us in the playoffs.

Dean Herbst

Despite the tragedy, people are ready to come back and do the work.

Peggy Gish

To lose one student, let alone five, is such a tragedy. It will have a big impact on all of us.

Sam Page

Once again, the racists and anti-Semites are exploiting a tragedy of great proportion and one that binds the nation to spew their hatred and seek to divide the nation. While they may be small in number, their reach through the Internet is of great concern. Their messages of hate must be countered by the good words of good people.

Abraham H. Foxman

There has to be some sort of silver lining out of this tragedy.

Matt Raymond

You could probably end it in different parts of my life either as a tragedy or a comedy or a success story, ... It all depends on how they'd want to depict it.

Paul Hornung

With the death of Chief Justice Rehnquist and the tragedy of Katrina that view is even more salient now.

Margie Mchugh

The tragedy is that New Zealanders are paying with their jobs because this government has squandered the golden years.

John Key

The first divorce in the world may have been a tragedy, but the hundred-millionth is not necessarily one.

Anatole Broyard

The Fed is sticking to its guns. They took pains to address the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina, but they also made it clear that they see it as a short-term event from the economic perspective.

Robert Walters

In spite of this tragedy, reducing lead poisoning remains one of the most successful public-health interventions of the past 50 years.

Dan Symonik

The rest of this horrible tragedy is explained in an awful lot of detail by the defendant's confession.

Darryl Stallworth

If there is a fire or some kind of tragedy or crisis and everyone's trying to exit, our capacity is 150 people, and that door's going to look mighty small with 150 people trying to get through it.

John Erwin

Show me a hero and I will write you a tragedy.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

A tragedy that the Justice Department backed away from their original cessation remedy. Can you imagine what would happen if, as we projected with this plan, 1 million additional smokers quit each year -- 33 million over time?

Michael Fiore

It was a terrible tragedy that that young lad was killed but ... an independent inquiry is underway. Let us wait for the facts.

Dr. John Prescott

Comedy is nothing more than tragedy deferred.

Pico Iyer

Defendant does not intend to profit in any way from the Oklahoma City bombing tragedy and in the event this court imposes no fine, or a nominal fine, and does not order restitution to exceed $4,100, the defendant will sign and file with the court an agreement and promise not to profit from the Oklahoma City bombing tragedy.

Michael Mcguire

That bloodless dismissal made the human tragedy and physical mayhem on the Gulf Coast seem like a bureaucratic mistake, ... It was similar to saying the Pearl Harbor attack should not have been investigated and nobody disciplined for failures until World War II was won.

Robert Novak

Fate cast me to play the role of an ugly duckling with no promise of swanning. I have played my life as a comedy rather than the tragedy many would have made of it.

Marie Dressler

In a weird way, this tragedy will make it a magnet for opportunity seekers. It's the irony of tragedies.

Gregory Rodriguez

These are people who are alienated and don't really identify with their fellow residents in any positive way. They feel the tragedy is an opportunity for them.

Jack Levin

There is no tragedy in missing a putt, no matter how short. All have erred in this respect.

Walter Hagen

Every human being on this earth is born with a tragedy, and it isn't original sin. He's born with the tragedy that he has to grow up. That he has to leave the nest, the security, and go out to do battle. He has to lose everything that is lovely and fight for a new loveliness of his own making, and it's a tragedy. A lot of people don't have the courage to do it.

Helen Hayes

Clearly the costs are huge. Just the lost revenue itself is substantial, plus all the other expense involved in a tragedy like this. We were already having an extremely difficult year. This will only exacerbate that. But this remains a fundamentally sound company.

Al Becker

This is a tragedy.

Bill Steele

The tragedy in Louisiana and Mississippi has laid bare severe shortcomings in our ability to respond to catastrophe.

Peter Sullivan

Unlike most films, it examines a side of a person's life that's hidden, and I think there's a lot of people who carry around a fair amount of darkness and keep it private for a lifetime. The film is about a very public figure and his very private tragedy.

Bennett Miller

It's going to end in tragedy.

Joe Baltz

I don't want to sound Pollyannaish, but I hope that out of a tragedy like this something good will come. I hope we understand we're one family.

Madeleine Albright

Today, two young men have been charged with crimes they did not commit. This is a tragedy. For the two young men, an ordeal lies ahead. They do not face it alone. They face it with the love of family and friends and strengthened by the truth. They are both innocent.

Bob Ekstrand

Our position is we want to cooperate with the Saints and the state in an effort to keep the Saints in the state, both now and in the future. Particularly in view of this tragedy, we're going to do everything we can to cooperate. We have had no disagreement about how that should be, except logistics.

Bernard Boudreaux

This game will give everyone associated with our organization the chance to contribute their time and talents in the name of raising money for those affected by this tragedy. We are honored to participate in this event and look forward to the opportunity to give back.

Rc Buford

They were in the wrong place at the wrong time. It's a terrible tragedy.

Prosecutor Stew Menefee

This is a national tragedy and a public health problem demanding national leadership.

Tipper Gore

We know that traffic-related fatalities and injuries increase dramatically at the age of 8. We're confident it is possible to put an end to this tragedy by educating older children and their parents about proper vehicle positioning and restraint use.

Joseph O'donnell

What I've seen, and I think this is a good turn of events even in the midst of tragedy, is that there seems to be more discussion about whether these extraordinary weather events, the hurricanes, are part of an approaching pattern that's related to global warming.

Michael Mccabe

[Seattle Mayor Paul Schell referred to the incident as] a senseless act of violence. ... horrible tragedy.

Norm Stamper

She had a tragedy in her life, and was always interested in medicine, but it was always out of her reach.

Claude Coleman

We were very cognizant of the fact that there are a lot of people being killed over in Iraq every day, and not just foreigners, a lot of Iraqis are being killed. This tragedy that we are feeling is a part of a much larger tragedy.

Anne Bacon

We know tragedy is going to hit one of us somewhere.

Clay Shaw

The tragedy is that when a precision bomb hits a gas station surrounded by cottages, you discover that you can't fight a humanitarian war in a humane way.

Mark Almond

It's an extreme tragedy. It makes us realize the things that matter the most. To be able to lend a hand, in other countries or in your own community, is always something special.

Michael Curry

The first part of the story is very funny and very full of gags ... then the second part is not a comedy (and) is exactly a real tragedy. This, to me, was wonderful, the balance.

Roberto Benigni

New Orleans is an economic disaster. This tragedy is so unprecedented people could be out of work for three, six, nine months or longer.

Rajeev Dhawan

I feel sorry for the organizers. How do you decide to commemorate a human tragedy that could repeat itself any time?

Tim Hodson

Please assure that America will value the life of my father and my sister more than the value of a cable car. Has America forgotten about this tragedy and about our families?

Sindy Renkewitz

The terrible effects of the earthquake, and the human tragedy that has resulted, have resulted in a major international assistance effort and I am confident that our responsive and valuable assets will contribute a great deal to that relief effort.

John Reid

Even though we are under a tragedy and don't exactly have much money at all, what we do have is each other. We have our family. We have food, water, shelter. People in New Orleans, they were dying because they didn't have any of those.

Siobhan Rigby

Children seldom have a proper sense of their own tragedy, discounting and keeping hidden the true horrors of their short lives, humbly imagining real calamity to be some prestigious drama of the grown-up world.

Shirley Hazzard

Not only generated misery and poverty but also a great social tragedy that added to institutional instability in the region, provoking the fall of democratically elected governments.

Nestor Kirchner

It was a tragedy, ... I wish it had never happened.

John Ames

I was amazed, it's like this guys either strong as nails, or just like knows what he's all about. He is like one of the coolest guys I think I've ever met. I thought it was a tragedy the guy had to be taken out like that. It wasn't right. So, um, I thought he definately deserved, at least, a song on the album from uh.. one band. You know what I mean?

London Legrand

As soon as this tragedy happened in New Orleans, I just was haunted by memories and thoughts about Roberto Clemente and sort of how he gave his life to help people in a situation like this. It was very heartening for me to see athletes of this era come through in ways larger than themselves.

David Maraniss

Sometimes a tragedy is just a tragedy and not a harbinger of a bad trend. It is important not to lose sight of why we try and keep children in their homes. Lots of years of experience have taught us that in most cases, this is the best outcome. It is not done lightly.

Sue Jacobs

I hope he inspired some of our students and reminded them that coming from a small town is not a negative. Here, when somebody is successful, we all take part. And in tragedy, we all pull together.

Ricky Bennett

K-2: Triumph and Tragedy.

Jim Curran

He developed to such a degree, he just grew and he just got better and better. The tragedy of having that removed from you is so horrendous.

Daniel Miller

Nobody deserves to be shot and killed like that for no reason. This was a tragedy all around. Both men have family. But Evans' (family) can go and visit him in jail. But no longer can the Vicks visit Jerry. He's been taken out of their life.

Doris Johnson

The real tragedy that I often see is the parents taking a second mortgage on their home to send their child to a four-year institution and we see them come to us in January, having failed or dropped out. It's better to start with us.

Ruth Sherman

No one should be allowed to use this tragedy for political speculation.

Pietro Lunardi

The issue of race and class that has become the clear and convincing issue in this tragedy.

Hartford Courant

The building is a national tragedy - a cross between a concrete candy box and a marble sarcophagus in which the art of architecture lies buried.

Ada Louise Huxtable

We have to ask ourselves ... how could things have been different? ... What could have been done to prevent the magnitude of this tragedy? These are questions that Congress should legitimately ask.

Nancy Pelosi

To endure the cross is not tragedy; it is the suffering which is the fruit of an exclusive allegiance to Jesus Christ.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

That when you get an adult that comes into an activity like that and tries to exploit young people I think is a tragedy.

Bob Kuehl

It is unfortunate that it takes a tragedy like that for people to see the system working at its best. When the stakes are high, the press does a good job and the public responds. ... It just doesn't come across in the daily barrage of cable shout shows.

Carroll Doherty

The book deals with being an honorable person in a dishonest world. The Fencing Master does not sell himself. That's his tragedy, and that is also his strength and his glory.

Arturo Perez Reverte

The Cultural Revolution brought tragedy to my family. My son is now 17. When I've brought him here, I tell him of the tragedy.

Liu Li

We remain confident that we will be able to determine a probable cause to this terrible tragedy.

Peter Goelz

There are no precedents in law dealing with a tragedy of this type where somebody intentionally caused the death of 5,000 people and you sue somebody else to blame them for that murder, that is new.

Victor Schwartz

I wish we would have started 50 years ago, but to not start now would be a real tragedy.

David Barber

Let us not forget the great tragedy that has befallen this nation, ... restoring the public confidence that this marketplace will be up and functioning.

Richard Grasso

The tragedy of Katrina wasn't the failure to predict the track or to predict the intensity of the storm. The tragedy was in preparing people and in particular predicting human behavior.

Dario Moreno

She's probably with the wrong crowd. She picked up the liver thing in Bulgaria during 'The Grey Zone.' It's a tragedy but we're praying for her.

Natasha Lyonne

Following the Second World War, we are a country of one ethnicity. After the moving of the borders, after the tragedy of the Holocaust and the murder of Polish Jews, we don't have large minority groups.

Aleksander Kwasniewski

You've got to keep in mind that Albee says he is working towards a new definition of tragedy.

Michael Hurst

This was an awful tragedy for the community, but more importantly for the victims and their families. Our goal has been to treat the families fairly and with compassion. This resolution allows the parties to continue to heal both emotionally and physically.

Charlie Richardson

What was a quiet Sunday turned into a terrible tragedy very quickly.

Thomas Von Essen

The Renaissance scholar Michel de Montaigne said, 'there is little less trouble in governing a private family than a whole kingdom,' ... Drama, comedy and tragedy all have their roots in the compelling theatre of life that is closest to us all our relationships with those tied to us by blood.

Richard Monette

Some have only been on campus a couple of weeks, ... incredible tragedy.

Stan Albrecht

Our hearts go out to the families of those little girls. It's a terrible, terrible tragedy. Whether you know the family or not, it affects the whole community.

Brian Allen

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

Charlie Chaplin

There is just so much possibility for tragedy. You never want an officer to pull a gun in an environment like a residence hall.

Wayne Silcox

While we have the gift of life, it seems to me that only tragedy is to allow part of us to die - whether it is our spirit, our creativity, or our glorious uniqueness.

Gilda Radner

It's a terrible thing wishing that it can be someone else's tragedy.

John Dyer

The Olympics provides an emotional experience for millions of people. It's an important thing. So much of it is about people triumphing over adversity. Confronting tragedy and bouncing back. To provide some lessons on life.

Don Ohlmeyer

It was just one tremendous explosion. Just, boom! Nothing like you've ever heard. I've been to the fireworks on the Fourth of July. It's like standing right next to the barge (used to set off fireworks displays). It's a major tragedy. I can't believe this.

David Owens

Twenty-five hundred is a terrible tragedy; Auschwitz it is not.

Pat Buchanan

There's a great desire in people after a tragedy like this to go back to their lives as it was, ... This may not be possible for some.

John Hope Franklin

With all things being equal in the universe that night, everything that could go wrong, did go wrong in the span of 90 seconds. It's just a tragedy.

Jersey City Ltthomas Comey

Without someone who knows what they're doing, you're not safe. It was a terrible tragedy which shouldn't have been allowed to happen. It's time some regulation was enforced.

Cedric Robinson

This is just an unspeakable event, an unspeakable tragedy that unfortunately occurred right in front of the young man's mother and sister.

William Mcmanus

The real tragedy, as the report notes, is that there are still so many young people who aren't receiving the appropriate and effective treatment they need and deserve.

David Fassler

This was a case of teenagers being foolish, and it blew up into a horrible nightmare. That doesn't diminish the tragedy, but there was a lack of sophistication in these acts. ... Kids tend to do things and think about them afterward.

George Reres

We fully understand the terrific strain Tulane University has been under in coping with this tragedy, ... We are doing everything we can to assist Tulane in its hurricane recovery efforts.

Larry Templeton

It is a tragedy for the people of Nepal that full-scale conflict has now resumed.

Brian Martin

When I was 4 years old, I got to see that tower being put up, and it's been my life. This was a big tragedy today.

Chris Hardman

We've dealt with tragedy, with an unfortunate situation involving a team member ... I just feel so good for these kids to have weathered that storm and accomplished this. If there is a team in the state of Tennessee that deserved this, it's my kids.

Dexter Williams

It's hard to put an estimate to this. A lot of the buildings are extremely old. Beyond the tragedy that happened, there's a lot of history lost.

Ragan Ingram

This was a tragedy that divided a family.

Roger Falk

It was just not a pretty scene, ... It's just a tragedy for our community.

Ray Nelson

My tragedy is not going to be the last.

Joanne Sanabria

What everybody is going to remember is that the streets took on the prime minister and won, and that's a tragedy for France.

Paul Hofheinz

Just think of the tragedy of teaching children not to doubt.

Clarence Darrow

Our goal is to keep children at home from accessing a firearm, and avoiding a tragedy. When you buy a bottle of children's aspirin, it has more protection than a firearm. We can change that.

Frank Walker

With (Katrina), it's almost like the sequel that doesn't live up to the original. It's certainly a shocking event and a tragedy, but somehow as a big event it doesn't seem to carry as much weight with the public as 9/11 did.

Gilbert Gottfried

This tragedy in the Gulf Coast states is unfathomable. We are confident we can raise money through this effort to assist in some small way. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone during this tragedy.

Gillian Zucker

The memories of the Munich games for me are of triumph and tragedy.

Mark Spitz

Tragedy is a close-up; comedy, a long shot.

Buster Keaton

We are a small community. This tragedy has ripped our guts out.

Rusty Gregory

This was a tragedy and our thoughts and our prayers are with the families.

Jan Woodford

The tragedy of it is that nobody sees the look of desperation on my face. Thousands and thousands of us, and we're passing one another without a look of recognition.

Henry Miller

This can only be described as a horrible tragedy. During the entire trial, there was no testimony other than that (Jeremy Phillips) was a real nice young man and that everyone who knew him liked him.

Thomas Ward

They have a lot of family and a lot of friends who love and are concerned about them. This is a tragedy, but they'll be taken care of.

Cindy Boyer

Even though he's had a tragedy here, that he's made some mistakes, it doesn't mean that all the good work that he's done is forgotten.

Gary Grant

Certainly, if these reports are true, it's a tragedy for science.

Nigel Cameron

In the midst of this national crisis, to have the city of New York, which has known such tragedy itself, to reach out to the citizens of New Orleans is a wonderful thing, and to do it in such a way that celebrates the rich traditions of New Orleans music shows an understanding and compassion that is truly heartwarming.

Quint Davis

We remember those who gave their lives and lost their lives. We also remember those touched by recent tragedy.

David Meyer

What was a tragedy has become a celebration of comradeship?It brought about a new sense of national identity.

Sam Lewis

Everyone at Panther Racing feels like it's only fitting that we support our country during this time of tragedy. Back in 2001 we made a donation and put an American flag on the engine cover after the tragedy on 9/11. So we feel a $10,000 donation and bringing awareness to the American Red Cross is the least we can do, and hopefully people in Chicago and watching the race on ABC will do the same.

John Barnes

Those people that I traditionally help still need it, ... It's not just like the people in need just go away because there's another tragedy.

Christine White

It is imperative that a sensitive approach is taken to ensure the victims, their family and friends are protected from the deep emotions that the constant revisiting of this tragedy can unleash.

Brian Monteith

He's in physical pain, he's in emotional pain. He recognizes the tragedy here, but he's not responsible for it.

Mel Sachs

Despite this horrific tragedy and temporary setback, Southern Baptists in Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana have the most wonderful opportunity they've ever had to catapult the Gospel of Jesus Christ and God's Kingdom work ahead 50 years, ... if we will but seize the day.

Bobby Welch

The important thing for us as a community is to rally around our neighbors to the South in this really awful tragedy. We'll sort out the details of our local situation later.

Gordan Thibedeau

This tragedy was the direct result of terrorism; hundreds of innocent people, mostly women and children, have died because of the fear and panic that terrorists are sowing in Iraq.

Jaap De Hoop Scheffer

This is a tragedy for the church. But that being said, it's a good thing the investigations are getting started, and it's a good thing if we're getting closer to the truth.

Mark Stokoe

I've gone everywhere, trying to stop many atrocities: Bosnia, Kosovo, Macedonia. The least I can do is show the victims that they are not alone. When I went to Cambodia, journalists asked me, What are you doing here? This is not a Jewish tragedy. I answered, When I needed people to come, they didn't. That's why I am here.

Elie Wiesel

We recognized that people didn't have connection to the outside except by telephone. That really limits their connection to the outside to connect with family. Plus, these folks have been traumatized by this tragedy. Having them work with the volunteers to find their family is also a cathartic experience.

William Reed

A police force acting responsibly would never have allowed such a tragedy to occur.

Joe Stork

That's a tragedy when there is injury or loss of life. Other than the suspect, no one else was injured.

Rodney Benson

It is reprehensive for a politician to promote an agenda by taking a tragedy Americans feel so deeply about, particularly when there is no merit to his ideas, ... Policy decisions should be based on sound science, and the notion that Katrina's intensity is somehow attributable to global warming has been widely dismissed by scientific experts.

Bill Holbrook

It would be a tragedy for the First Amendment and for this country if valuable speech about sex were unavailable to adults and minors throughout this country and that would be the effect if this law goes into effect.

Chris Hansen

This is a tragedy of monumental proportions for the victim, his family, friends and the good people involved at EAGLE III. We can't adequately express to you how deeply saddened we are by all of this. Our prayers go out to the family of the pilot on board. It is the commitment of EAGLE III that we do everything in our power to find the cause and make certain that this never repeats.

Tom Madigan

It may still go up. It is a colossal tragedy.

Aftab Sherpao

This tragic event has deeply saddened members of the Wendy's family nationwide, ... We are doing everything we can to help the victims' families and our employees cope with this horrible tragedy.

Jack Schuessler

There will be stories in here of great pain, great tragedy, great brutality, ... because you can't run away from that because those are instructive.

Lonnie Bunch

We had to hold tight. We couldn't let them get away or there would be more tragedy.

Sheila Johnson

The tragedy, ... is that this woman needs something, and has expectations, that cannot be fully realized. And to keep herself in such an unforgiving environment, she goes back and forth between being really strong, and stupid about what her priorities are.

Lisa Kudrow

We're doing everything we can to make sure a tragedy like this does not happen again.

Anthony Schembri

All I have to say is it's a tragedy, you know, it should have never happened. A man's heart should have never have been like that, to conceive such thoughts, conceive to do such things.

Nathaniel Osbourne

Today's events are a tragedy and our prayers are with everyone at this time.

James Goodwin

Until we regain a defensive swagger we are going to continue to struggle. It's a mystery to me why we have lost our confidence to play defensive with intensity. Letting another team shoot nearly 60 percent from the field is a tragedy.

Cary Thompson

These were only a few of the human rights violations by the U.S. in Iraq that the press covered and we followed. We did not intend to insult American people or their values, but only wanted to portray a real tragedy there.

Bahadir Ozdener

This appears to be another senseless tragedy, but it was not random, ... knew who they were after.

Bill Bell

The most practical way to become famous is to survive a major tragedy.

Dirceu Alves Ferreira

The most important thing ... is that the safety of students and staff was taken care of. The students are resilient. We'll recover from this tragedy, and things are going to be better than ever.

Todd Fox

We have learned first-hand the dangers of smoking and the tragedy of lung cancer.

Jon Banner

She was a great person, a good mother, a wonderful sister and a great daughter. We were just a small family, born and bred in the Westchester area. This is just a huge tragedy.

Bob Burke

Len Bias is a tragedy, because he's not around anymore, ... I'm a success.

Ray Richardson

[The tragedy and its remembrance, fueled by the ballad] The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald ... We are holding our own.

Gordon Lightfoot

That movie, for all of the tragedy of what happened during the making of it, clearly shows that whatever anybody can say about Terry and his passion for making movies that sometimes makes his movies more difficult to make, you can't control the weather and you can't control the fact that a guy came to his set with a prostate problem and never should have gotten on a horse.

Charles Roven

I thought it was a tragedy. Arts programs are so important to intellectual and emotional development.

Katie Gardner

We don't know who the family is. We have no interest in knowing. It's beside the point. It's a terrible tragedy. It's done now. We hope that if one decent thing comes out of this it's that someone else pays attention the next time around.

Kate Brown

I am asking all our countrymen living near rivers to prepare so that we can prevent any tragedy.

Joseph Estrada

It is a tragedy for this neighborhood that is so quiet and it, you wouldn't it's the last thing you would think of, you know? He was just sitting in his car, minding his own business and a car came flying into the driveway.

Gerald Harris

[Because of that tragedy] our students realized if there is a chance to do something for another student they should do it.

Sue Gradoville

We were hoping against hope that he would be found. It was a very personal tragedy.

Liz Viering
