For what it's worth, random bullshit like this can actually end up in creative breakthroughs.
If you want to know why, read this book.
Basically, humans are creatures of habit, and our thoughts are habits, too.
When you try to make sense of random bullshit, your line of thinking (the firing chain of synapses) might follow pathways it might not have otherwise taken. We have constellations in the sky (Big Dipper, Orion, etc.) as a consequence of humans reasoning about random bullshit. And these constellations served an important purpose in navigation.
If a bullshit quote happens to inspire a "Eureka!" moment in some other line of thought, wouldn't you think of it as profound, in a sense?
Zen koans are like this. They're riddles that aren't necessarily meant to be solved, but rather, take a person through a specific journey of thought.
