"I refuse to be intimidated by reality anymore. After all, what is it anyway? Nothin' but a collective hunch. My space chums think reality was once a primitive method of crowd control that got out of hand....it's absurdity dressed up in a three piece business suit."

Well take your pick, it's either Lily Tomlin in her one woman show "The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe" for which Tomlin won a Tony or you can credit it to Jane Wagner who collaborated with Tomlin in the writing of the show - so I guess it's really both of them.

Right. Jane Wagner with Lily Tomlin.
