(Rescue crews carry a woman to safety after she was pulled out of the rubble of a market in Sichuan province.)A tragic situation exists precisely when virtue does not triumph but when it is still felt that man is nobler than the forces which destroy him.
- George Orwell

( An elderly woman mourns as her grandson is buried under the debris of a collapsed building)
It often happens that the real tragedies of life occur in such an inartistic manner that they hurt us by their crude violence, their absolute incoherence, their absurd want of meaning, their entire lack of style.
- Oscar Wilde
There is often no answer for tragedies. But there must always be compassion. If we need reasons before we can have compassion for the sufferings, than that is a greater tragedy for mankind.
