Chris Stevens philosophizing rants from the show Northern Exposure are so memorable, I had to type them out. Because Cicely Alaska seems so much like Jerome Arizona, I have made a list of my favorite radio shows that he hosted on the television program. To see the list, go here.

Death, our Common Fate Chris Stevens Episode 3.17, "Lost and Found" The ancients knew that we all share a common fate. They gathered around their hearths, their sacred fires, not just to remember those who had gone before but to comfort each other in the face of their own inevitable journey. Mister Einstein put it like this: Strange is our situation here upon Earth. However, there is one thing that we do know, that man is here for the sake of other men, above all for those upon whose smile and well-being our own happiness depends, and also for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy. Good night, Cicely. [Chris reads from Albert Einstein, Ideas and Opinions]
