The Carnivorous Carnival (A Series of Unfortunate Events, #9)

by Lemony Snicket

It is hard for decent people to stay angry at someone who has burst into tears, which is why it is often a good idea to burst into tears if a decent person is yelling at you.

There are times to stay put, and what you want will come to you, and there are times to go out into the world and find such a thing for yourself.
