You know when you're watching an awesome show, and a line flies by that just makes you pause, scramble off your bed, frantically look for a writing utensil and something to write on (in this case a red colored pencil and a used index card), and note it for posterity? Well, while finishing up The Office this morning before work (making myself late and thus forcing my brother to drive me down there in the process), I ran across such a line:

That one's so profound-sounding I'm hardly going to give Gervais the benefit of the doubt when it comes to authoring. Seems like he might have rephrased it from something more famous that I'm not going to waste the energy to search for now.
