I think it is tragic that a situation should arise where civilians on any side are killed. But it is almost a cliche to say that it is virtually unavoidable and this isn't unique to us alone. ↗

The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, as well as more recent attacks in Madrid, Spain, and London, England, showed in a very tragic way just how vulnerable many areas of the world are to these sorts of actions. ↗

Pero, para colmo, nadie te podrá garantizar lo porvenir, porvenir que en cualquier caso es triste: si fracasás, porque el fracaso es siempre penoso y, en el artista, trágico; si triunfás, porque el triunfo es una especie de vulgaridad, una suma de malentendidos, un manoseo; convirtiéndote en esa asquerosidad que se llama un hombre público, y con derecho (¿con derecho?) un chico, como vos mismo eras al comienzo, te podrá escupir.Y también deberás aguantar esa injusticia, agachar el lomo y seguir produciendo tu obra, como quien levanta una estatua en un chiquero ↗

The beauty of this idea is that my decision to keep Peeta alive at the expense of my own life is itself an act of defiance. A refusal to play the Hunger Games by the Capitol's rules. My private agenda dovetails completely with my public one. And if I really could save Peeta... in terms of a revolution, this would be ideal. Because I will be more valuable dead. They can turn me into some kind of martyr for the cause and paint my face on banners, and it will do more to rally people than anything I could do if I was living. But Peeta would be more valuable alive, and tragic, because he will be able to turn his pain into words that will transform people. ↗

In Shakespearean tragedy the main source of the convulsion which produces suffering and death is never good: good contributes to this convulsion only from its tragic implication with its opposite in one and the same character. ↗
