You'd have to wonder who made that quote, because while every particular if it is individually true, it gets the whole of human experience completely wrong.

Yes, we have no outside will or purpose imposed upon us. It is what we make of what we're given which gives us meaning and purpose. It is up to us, our society and our wider environment to shape meaning out of our lives.

Nope.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I disagree with the quote. Meaning is personal and subjective, and IMO "objective value" is an oxymoron because value is a subjective judgement of an entity or a situation.

You are a fluke of the universe. You have no right to be here.
 
Go placidly amid the noise and waste,
And remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece thereof.
Avoid quiet and passive persons, unless you are in need of sleep.
Rotate your tires.
Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself,
And heed well their advice, even though they be turkeys.
Know what to kiss, and when.
Consider that two wrongs never make a right, but that three do.
Wherever possible, put people on hold.
Be comforted that in the face of all aridity and disillusionment,
and despite the changing fortunes of time,
There is always a big future in computer maintenance.
You are a fluke of the universe.
You have no right to be here.
And whether you can hear it or not,
The universe is laughing behind your back.
Remember The Pueblo.
Strive at all times to bend, fold, spindle, and mutilate.
Know yourself.
If you need help, call the FBI.
Exercise caution in your daily affairs,
Especially with those persons closest to you -
That lemon on your left, for instance.
Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls
Would scarcely get your feet wet.
Fall not in love therefore. It will stick to your face.
Gracefully surrender the things of youth: birds, clean air, tuna, Taiwan.
And let not the sands of time get in your lunch.
Hire people with hooks.
For a good time, call 606-4311. Ask for Ken.
Take heart in the bedeepening gloom
That your dog is finally getting enough cheese.
And reflect that whatever fortune may be your lot,
It could only be worse in Milwaukee.
You are a fluke of the universe.
You have no right to be here.
And whether you can hear it or not,
The universe is laughing behind your back.
Therefore, make peace with your god,
Whatever you perceive him to be - hairy thunderer, or cosmic muffin.
With all its hopes, dreams, promises, and urban renewal,
The world continues to deteriorate.
Give up!
You are a fluke of the universe.
You have no right to be here.
And whether you can hear it or not,
The universe is laughing behind your back.

Subjectively apprehended value judgements can be objective. We can all agree that there are four objects in front of us, regardless of our individually subjective apprehension.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies.

The Deteriorata from National Lampoon's Radio Dinner album! Used to have that on vinyl. IIRC it was Leonard Nimoy doing the recitation.

Quote: “Humanity is purposeless. 
Purpose to whom ?


Quote:You have no value.

Value to whom?

Quote:You’re a meaningless product of a random evolutionary process that initially developed from the spawn of a single-celled organism.
Gotta love the scare word EVOLUTIONARY as if evolution should make value judgements, And no evolution isn't random and even if it were you have yet to explain who you get from that too people being meaningless . Again so many Christian presumptions here .  


Quote:The relationships you derive are also meaningless.

Quote:Everything that you do in this life has no objective value.
Assertion 



Quote:You’re living day-to-day only to accomplish the goal of mere survival.”
Well that's clearly false
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.

RE: Would you agree?
Do you agree, OP?
Because it seems as though you've found an incredible sense of meaning and purpose in trolling.

Lol

A bit of advice: Trolling is a lot like lovemaking...albeit really, really bad lovemaking. 
Point is, you've got to at least attempt to keep things fresh and exciting. You know...switch the troll-game up every once in awhile. 

I mean, you'll still probably get banned but at least you can make your experience last longer and be a little less ho-hum for other members.
