More quotes by George Carlin
God bless the homicidal maniacs. They make life worthwhile.
George Carlin
For a long time, I've distinguished between entertainer and performer and entertainer and artist. To me, an entertainer is someone who pleases others, and an artist tries to please himself.
George Carlin
Soft rock music isn’t rock, and it ain’t music. It’s just soft.
George Carlin
Cancer research is a growth industry.
George Carlin
The child molester skipped breakfast, but said he'd grab a little something on the way to work.
George Carlin
The planet is fine. The people are f****d. Because everyone is trying to save the planet. The planet doesn’t need that. The planet will take care of itself. People are selfish. And that's what they're doing is trying to save the planet for themselves to have a nicer place to live.
George Carlin
Golf is an arrogant, elitist game that takes up entirely too much space in this country.

George Carlin
You know who would make an interesting murder-suicide? Madeline Albright and Yanni.
George Carlin

George Carlin
I just love it when I hear a little commotion, someone leaving. When I see those doors in the back . . .
George Carlin
Religion is like drugs, it destroys the thinking mind.
George Carlin
I find that an entertainer is quite content to sit still, and I think an artist always has a little motion, always going somewhere. May not know where it is, but there is some sort of unnamed destination. There is some pulling, some movement. So I just found myself in that category according to my own analysis.
George Carlin
There will be a rain dance Friday night, weather permitting!
George Carlin
It seems to me like a perversion of talent for an artist of any kind to further the corporate structure of America or the personal interests of the morons and thieves who run it.
George Carlin
If work is so terrific, how come they have to pay you to do it?
George Carlin
