"If being an egomaniac means I believe in what I do and in my art or music, then in that respect you can call me that ... I believe in what I do, and I'll say it." ~ John Lennon

"Live as if your were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever." ~ Gandhi

"Early to rise, Early to bed, Makes a man healthy but socially dead." - ze wheel of morality None of your smart answers ... you think you're so clever. Well, I'm Dim. -- Graham (Dim)

"Do all philosophers have an 's' in them?" -- Eric Idle (Mrs. Hendy in Meaning of Life)

Chairman (Graham): ...Which brings us once again to the urgent realisation of just how much there is still left to own. Item six on the agenda: the meaning of life. Now, uh, Harry, you've had some thoughts on this.
Harry (Palin):That's right. Yeah, I've had a team working on this over the past few weeks, and, uh, what we've come up with can be reduced to two fundamental concepts. One: people are not wearing enough hats. Two: matter is energy. In the universe, there are many energy fields which we cannot normally perceive. Some energies have a spiritual source which act upon a person's soul. However, this soul does not exist ab initio, as orthodox Christianity teaches. It has to be brought into existence by a process of guided self-observation. However, this is rarely achieved, owing to man's unique ability to be distracted from spiritual matters by everyday trivia.

LADY PRESENTER (Palin): Well, that's the end of the film. Now, here's the meaning of life. Thank you, Brigitte. M-hmm. Well, it's nothing very special. Uh, try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations.....

SIR BEDEVERE (Terry Jones): And that, my liege, is how we know the earth to be banana-shaped.

ARTHUR (Graham): This new learning amazes me, Sir Bedevere. Explain again how sheep's bladders may be employed to prevent earthquakes.
