Animorphs re-read, book #19

[asenseofwonder.livejournal.com]

I have been doing my own re-read of the series for the first time (I read each and every book when it was originally released) and this quote just stuck out, so I thought I would post it here.

"I guess sometimes you have to choose between smart, sane, ruthlessness, and totally stupid, insane hope," I said, not even realizing I was speaking out loud. "You can't just pick one and stick with it, either. Each time it comes up, you have to try and make your best decision. Most of the time, I guess I have to go with being smart and sane. But I don't want to live in a world where people don't try the stupid, crazy, hopeful thing sometimes."
