"Could you answer all the questions in the world in just one word?" What is this from? It's a line from something. can't place quite what.. book, song, movie.. But it keeps playing in my head.

I'm pretty sure that bird is the word. Or possibly grease.

crush-onastick nailed it, it really is Maria, at least in answer to the question above. It's hard to stump the hive.

I dunno, but the phrase that is never inappropriate to say is 'This too shall pass.'

I don't think Maria is the answer to the poster's question. The song I posted has the exact phrasing s/he referenced.

that appears to be true - I guess I never made it past the first verse
