My Dad shared this with me years ago - RS1 in a Nutshell.  I do not know who said it originally except to know it was not my Dad or Mom

With respect,

 I was conducting collegium in London and got off on one of my tangents, and gave a carefully memorized speech to the group. The speech was this: He who does not know he lives in one hell of a universe peopled with son-of-a-bitches finally ends up in the corner sucking his thumb between tears and gripes and therefore, denies himself the experience of the glorious virtue of his one hell of a universe and the awareness of the warmth and the collegiality among us son-of-a-bitches. That's RS-I in a nutshell. Why we wasted 44 hours, I don't know. Anyway, then when we were boarding the plane at the airport, later, some guy at customs said, "Do you have anything to declare? I hear that in my dreams. "Do you have anything to declare?" "Do you have anything to declare?" So, one guy was looking at Pierce's passport and he said, "Mr. Pierce, do you have anything to declare?" And Pierce said, "Do I have something to declare? I do indeed have something to declare. I declare that this is one hell of a universe peopled with son-of-a-bitches and he who does not know it finally ends up in the corner sucking his thumb between tears and grips and therefore, denies himself the experience of the glorious virtue of this one hell of a universe and the awareness of the warmth and the collegiality among us son-of-a-bitches. I do declare!"
