Reflections in Words and Pictures on why We are Here

The Meaning of Life

Katie Cheng

Interesting. It didn't all speak to me, but then again how could it? The words and pictures came from people of all walks of life. As much as I try, I can't relate to everyone.

Then again, lots of choice quotes if you really dig in! All but one person tried to give their insight to "the meaning of life" with sincerity and gravity - here's a bit from the one that didn't:

"The very fact that you are reading this book proves that you are just a spineless squid who can't even cross the street without calling up Big Bird." -Judy Tenuta, comedian

Love it. I gave a little sigh of relief to find that the editors of this book weren't too pretentious to take that humorous little jab with grace.
