It turns out your house is haunted and a spirit keeps throwing small flimsy things at you, switching the lights off or on, and making growling noises. You come up with the idea of expressing to the spirit of how meaningless its actions are and how pathetic and weak it is in one quote. What quote do you use?

Are you sure you're not misinterpreting the 'haunting'. It may be that the spirit can take in more than just you and you're feeling other people's spirits/emotions as well.

XXV. PITIFUL.

My friend, namely the satire of your friend,
Behold Zarathustra! In the animal it is huge.
"As for human, him himself is to inspection 1:
The Verily, as for me there are no merciful ones like those:

happiness is sympathy."

Therefore spake Zarathustra.

(trans. from the original Japanese by the Amanojaku)

We cannot live human lives without energy and attention, nor without making choices which show that we take some things more seriously than others. Yet we have always available a point of view outside the particular form of our lives, from which the seriousness appears gratuitous. These two inescapable viewpoints collide in us, and that is what makes life absurd. It is absurd because we ignore the doubts that we know cannot be settled, continuing to live with nearly undiminished seriousness in spite of them.
