If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little.
George Carlin
Image
There is a planet named Pluto, but we don't have one named Goofy. Goofy would be a good name for this planet. It certainly qualifies.
George Carlin
Image
We think in language. We think in words. Language is the landscape of thought.

When you think about it, attention-deficit order makes a lot of sense. In this country there isn't a lot worth paying attention to.

There was about a two-year period at the end of the '60s, when I realized I was in the wrong place and entertaining the wrong people with the wrong material and that I was not being true to myself. I went through a metamorphosis into something more authentic for me, a more authentic stage voice and writing voice.

I sort of gave up on this whole human adventure a long time ago, divorced myself from it emotionally. It gives me an artistic detachment that I find valuable. I think the human race has squandered its gift, and I think this country has squandered its promise, for the sake of cell phones and Jet Skis.

Personally, when it comes to rights, I think one of two things is true. I think either we have unlimited rights, or we have no rights at all. Personally I lean towards unlimited rights, I feel for instance I have the right to do anything I please, BUT! If I do something you don't like I think you have the right to kill me.

When someone is impatient and says, 'I haven't got all day,' I always wonder, How can that be? How can you not have all day?

Kilometers are shorter than miles. Save gas, take your next trip in kilometers.

Rhetoric paints with a broad brush.

Golf is an arrogant, elitist game that takes up entirely too much space in this country.
George Carlin

Ah, to be a bird. To fly the skies, sing my song, and best of all occasionally peck someone's eyes out.
George Carlin
Image
Every day I break my own personal record for number of days I have been alive.
George Carlin
Image
I was a stonehead for 30 years. I'd wake up in the morning and if I couldn't decide whether I wanted a joint or not, I'd smoke a joint to figure it out. And I stayed high all day long.

Just think, right now as you read this, some guy somewhere is gettin' ready to hang himself.

So I do have this ambivalence. Obviously I'm against militaries, because of what militaries do. In many ways though, the air force was unmilitary-like. They dropped bombs on people, but...they had a golf course.

Comedy is a socially acceptable form of hostility and aggression. That is what comics do, stand the world upside down.

Standing ovations have become far too commonplace. What we need are ovations where the audience members all punch and kick one another.
