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
