Aristotle
"Art is not an imitation of nature but its metaphysical supplement, raised up beside it in order to overcome it . . . Tragedy reveals the essential contrariety at the heart of the universe."
Nietzsche
"Tragedy, then, is a representation of an action that is worth serious attention, complete in itself, and of some amplitude; in language enriched by a variety of artistic devices appropriate to the several parts of the play; presented in the form of action, not narration; by means of pity and fear bringing about the purgation of such emotion."
Aristotle
