What I've Learned About the Meaning of Life

There's a book that collects some of Esquire’s popular “What I’ve Learned” columns. They print answers (to questions we don't see) from actors, directors, musicians, economists, leaders and politicians.

Should you expect to find the meaning of life in these words? I would think there's a better chance of finding wisdom there than in Monty Python's The Meaning of Life film.

Peter Fonda  "Everybody wants the world to be like them."
Les Paul  "It's not technique — it's what you have to say."
Warren Miller  "In a hundred years, all new people." 
Clint Eastwood "Barack Obama was unimaginable back when I was a kid."
Evander Holyfield  "At some point in life, you find it's not about skin color."
