Quote by Graham Chapman

“First you must find... another shrubbery! Then, when you have found the shrubbery, you must place it here, beside this shrubbery, only slightly higher so you get a two layer effect with a little path running down the middle. ("A path! A path!") Then, you must cut down the mightiest tree in the forrest... with... a herring!”

Your entire education has deprived you of this capacity because it was preparing you for the future, instead of showing you how to be alive now.”
