More quotes by George Meyer
Advertising is a conscienceless industry, populated by cowards and idiots, that warps and drains everyone. It eggs on the worst in all of us. If I could eliminate either advertising or nuclear weapons, I would choose advertising.

I'm enthralled by the national yearning that the Russians had during the 50s and 60s. The whole century was pretty rough for them. They suffered genocide, war, poverty, and half the population was sent to labor camps. But they were determined to get into space first.

I have nothing but respect for the purist who won't work for the pharaoh. But I'm not that strong.

I don't like that The Simpsons are spokespeople for Burger King and MasterCard and Butterfinger. In the first Gulf War, I was really upset that the Simpsons characters were being drawn on tanks and bombs. But those are things that I don't control.

Men often struggle with their attraction to other women. They don't quite understand why they have to be with the same woman forever.
George Meyer
Life is challenging for everyone. If someone can believe that he's a sovereign in his tiny domain, it's just an adaptation to life.
George Meyer
I don't remember a lot of what I write. I try to release it after it's out there so that I can be fresh again.
George Meyer
I have a deep suspicion of social institutions and tradition in general.
George Meyer
Experience as much as you can and absorb a lot of reality. Otherwise, your writing will have the force of a Wiffle ball.
George Meyer
There's a built-up tension in religion, and if you can release it, you'll get a huge and satisfying laugh.
George Meyer
I don't know what the universe is all about, but to me, nothing is gained by slapping a God sticker on it. It has never been a comfort to me to believe there's an all-seeing eye in the sky.
George Meyer
I prefer to linger on the periphery before making a commitment.
George Meyer
I tend to look at the world more from Voltaire's perspective. Incidentally, if you haven't read Candide lately, it's a fabulous book. It's riotously, laugh-out-loud funny in a way that no Shakespeare comedy will ever be.
George Meyer
There's absolutely no way that something I do on my own is going to be seen in Malaysia.
