Hi all,

Can anyone tell me the origins (a book? an interview?) of the following quote I found attributed to RB?

> Why are you here? I'll tell you why you're here. You've been put here because the universe exists. There's no use the universe existing, if there isn't someone there to see it. Your job is to see it. Your job is to witness. To witness, to understand, to comprehend and to celebrate! To celebrate with
your life. At the end of your life, if you don't come to that end and look back and realize that youcelebrated, then you wasted it. <

I love it and have been using it in my signature line, but I need to find out where it came from for when people ask me about it.

Thanks in advance for any help!

According to this webpage, it was from a commencement speech to the Caltech Class of 2000.

(Found it using Google.)

I'd bet that Ray has used very similar material in print somewhere, but I'll leave that for others to locate!
