Well that's kind of the point, it's not deep, it's pseudo-profundity of the type you quoted ("Truth is the breath of my life" ...etc).
My point is that anyone can knock out this kind of crap, it appeals to an audience who willingly drink up anything that ticks the right boxes.
Stick the words 'wisdom', 'truth' and 'life' into a blender and out comes anther cup of profundity soup.

Here you go, Daniel Dennett has a good take on this theme:
