Tragically

Famous quotes containing the word tragically:

“But I am not tragically colored. There is no great sorrow dammed up in my soul, nor lurking behind my eyes. I do not mind at all. I do not belong to the sobbing school of negrohood who hold that nature somehow has given them a lowdown dirty deal.... No, I do not weep at the world—I am too busy sharpening my oyster knife.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1907–1960)

“It is strange that they will make ado when a man’s body is buried, but not when he thus really and tragically dies, or seems to die.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
