"Life is a cosmic joke, and these are the guiding principals by which to live: Do as little harm to others as you can, make any sacrifice for your true friends, and grab all the fun you can. Don't give much thought to yesterday, don't worry about tomorrow. Live in the moment and trust that your existence has meaning even when the world seems to be all blind chance and chaos. When life lands a hammer blow in your face, roll with it, but roll with laughter. Do your best to respond to the hammer as if it were a cream pie. Sometimes black humor is the only kind we can summon, but even dark laughter can sustain."
Dean Koontz
from "Fear Nothing"
