For reasons I don't fully understand, tragic love has a certain appeal.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When people go through tragic circumstances, it's not that there is no love there, but it's so hard to deal with and sometimes the gap starts to happen.
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.
Grief releases love and it also instills a profound sense of connection.
I have a taste for a kind of melancholy and for being an absolute victim of love.
For every story you hear that's tragic, there's another that's equally tragic or more so. I think you come to look at it as part of life.
Love and death are the two great hinges on which all human sympathies turn.
I've never thought of my characters as being sad. On the contrary, they are full of life. They didn't choose tragedy. Tragedy chose them.
In all love stories the theme is love and tragedy, so by writing these types of stories, I have to include tragedy.
It's an indication of how cynical our society has become that any kind of love story with a sad theme is automatically ridiculed as sentimental junk.
The tragedy is not that love doesn't last. The tragedy is the love that lasts.
