What's love? Something that lasts a week or a month and that's all you can except? Or is it just that some loves have a short shelf life? You know, like yogurt: after a week or two they go bad. And how do you recognize the other kind of love, the kind that isn't like yogurt? The kind that's more like... I don't know, like peanut butter, that lasts forever and always tastes good?
Katherine ApplegateIs there anything sweeter than the touch of another as she pulls a dead bug from your fur?
Katherine ApplegateBut mostly, I remembered what Iโve always believed. What my mom taught me. That while some things are just plain awful, most things in life can be seen either tragic or comic. And itโs your choice. Is life a big, long, tiresome slog from sadness to regret to guilt to resentment to self-pity? Or is life weird, outrageous, bizarre, ironic, and just stupid? Gotta go with stupid. Itโs not the easy way out. Self pity is the easiest thing in the world. Finding the humor, the irony, the slight justification for a skewed, skeptical optimism. Thatโs tough. - Marco, Animorphs #35: The Proposal
