- On success: Tragedy happens only when you are trying to live well.
- [on retributive anger] It's very important first to take apart the anger. The outrage-protest part that says "This is wrong and this shouldn't happen again", that's always valuable. The part that says, "We'd better try to fix it by making the doer suffer", I think that's actually confused and not very helpful.
