=QUOTES ON TRAGEDY:=

Hamilton: "The suffering of a soul that can suffer greatly -- that, and only that, is tragedy."
===Hamilton: "The dignity and the significance of human life -- without them there is no tragedy .... It is by our power to suffer, above all, that we are of more value than the sparrows. Deep down, when we search out the reason for our conviction of the transcendent worth of each human being, we know that it is because of the possibility that each can suffer so terribly."===
