Humans. Sometimes they make chimps look smart.

And that's how we ended up discovering the evil horses that threatened all of humanity.

Homework, I have discovered, involves a sharp pencil and thick books and long sighs.

With enough time, you can get used to almost anything.

When I'm drawing a picture, I feel...quiet inside.

But mostly, I remembered what I’ve 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 it’s 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. It’s 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. That’s tough. - Marco, Animorphs #35: The Proposal
