A little taste of the genius of George Carlin (RIP):

"I never understood national pride. You should be proud of things you achieved or acquired on your own, not for an accident of birth."

"It's called the American dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it."

"Military cemeteries around the world are packed with brainwashed dead soldiers who were convinced God was on their side... We pray for God to destroy our enemies, our enemies pray for God to destroy us... somebody's gonna be disappointed, somebody's wasting their f'ing time, could it be... everyone!"

"The best thing you can do to a kid is warn him about all the bu115hit that's to come, and teach him how to detect it."

"I have as much authority as the Pope, I just don't have as many people who believe it."

"I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death."

"Inside every cynical person, there is a disappointed idealist."

"The main reason Santa is so jolly is because he knows where all the naughty girls live."

"Weather forecast for tonight: dark."

"If a man is standing in the middle of the forest speaking and there is no woman around to hear him...is he still wrong?"

"Why do they lock gas station bathrooms? Are they afraid someone will clean them?"

"Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day."

"A lot of these people who keep a gun at home for safety are the same ones who refuse to wear a seat belt."

"Shopping and buying and getting and having comprise the Great American Addiction. No one is immune. When the underclass riots in this country they don’t kill policemen and politicians, they steal merchandise. How embarrassing."

"As far as calling them 'Native Americans' is concerned, do I even have to point out what an insult this is? We steal their hemisphere, kill twenty or so million of them, destroy five hundred separate cultures, herd the survivors on to the worst land we can find, and now we want to name them after ourselves? It’s appalling. Haven’t we done enough damage? Do we have to further degrade them by tagging them with the same name as the conquerors?"

"It’s way beyond ironic that a place called the Holy Land is the location of the fiercest most deeply felt hatred in the world."

"The next time a prostitute solicits your business, ask for the clergyman’s rate."

"America: where Irish, English, Germans, Scandinavians, Poles and Italians come together to kill Indians, lynch niggers and beat the shit out of spics and Jews."

"Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that."

"I wanna live. I don’t wanna die. That’s the whole meaning of life: Not dying! I figured that one out by myself in the third grade."

"Religion has convinced people that there’s an invisible man…living in the sky, who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn’t want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever, and suffer and burn and scream until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you and he needs money."

"I think it’s the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn and cross it deliberately."
