"Look, I don't want to wax philosophic, 
 but I will say that if you're alive, 
 you've got to flap your arms and legs, 
 you've got to jump around a lot, 
 you've gotta make a lot of noise, 
 because life is the very opposite of death...
 if you're quiet you're not living...
 your thoughts should be noisy and colorful and lively." 
--Mel Brooks
