John Cleese
Laughter is the best creative medicine.

John Cleese
Oh, I could spend my life having this conversation - look - please try to understand before one of us dies
John Cleese
You have to create boundaries of space and then you have to create boundaries of time.

Sci-fi has never really been my bag. But I do believe in a lot of weird things these days, such as synchronicity. Quantum physics suggests it's possible, so why not?
John Cleese
There's something about watching an animal that puts you in contact with where we came from and what we're still a part of.
