What can one do? Go home, love your children, try not to bicker, eat well, walk in the rain, feel the sun on your face and laugh loud and often, as much as possible, and especially at yourself. Because the only antidote to death is not poetry, or drama, or miracle drugs, or a roomful of technical expertise and good intentions. The antidote to death is life.
-Theresa Brown, from her article “Perhaps Death Is Proud; More Reason to Savor Life” in the New York Times, September 9th, 2008.
“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.”
And now, some gratuitous pictures of penises to annoy the censors”.
- Monty Python, The Meaning of Life
