I've always believed that to some extent you get to decide for yourself what your life will be like. You can either look at the world and say "Oh, isn't it all so tragic, so grim, so awful." Or you can look at the world and decide that it's mostly funny. If you step back far enough from the details, everything gets funny. You say war is tragic. I say, isn't it crazy the way people will fight over nothing? People fight wars to control crappy little patches of empty desert, for crying out loud. It's like fighting over an empty soda can. It's not so much tragic as it is ridiculous. Asinine! Stupid! You say, isn't it terrible about global warming? And I say, no, it's funny. We're going to bring on global warming because we ran too many leaky air conditioners? We used too much spray deodorant, so now we'll be doomed to sweat forever? That's not sad. That's irony. ↗

Do you really enjoy living a life that's so hateful? 'Cause there's a hole where your soul should be, you're losing control of it, and it's really distasteful. ↗

I have tried hard--but life is difficult, and I am a very useless person. ↗

We are not built for mountains and dawns and artistic affinities; they are for moments of inspiration, that is all. We are built for the valley, for the ordinary stuff of life, and this is where we have to prove our mettle. A false Christianity takes us up on the mount and we want to stay there. But what about the devil-possessed world? Oh, let it go to hell! We are having a great time up here. ↗

Scepticism is never certain of itself, being less a firm intellectual position than a pose to justify bad behavior. ↗

Cinta sulit dipercaya, tanyakan pada siapapun yang sedang jatuh cinta. Kehidupan ini juga sulit dipercaya, tanyakan pada ilmuwan manapun. Tuhan juga sulit dipercaya, tanyakan pada siapapun yang memercayainya. Kenapa Anda tidak menerima hal-hal yang sulit dipercaya? ↗

Life often is a bucket of water sitting on a farmer’s porch. Our choice is in the drinking. ↗
