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.

More quotes by 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
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
When people have no interest in a subject, it's very hard to get them to laugh about it.
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
To me, a mark of maturity is realizing that nobody runs the world. Fat cat politicians and secret conspiracies don't control our lives. In reality, the world is much more complex than that.
George Meyer
I have a deep suspicion of social institutions and tradition in general.
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
Every joke can't be dazzling. And if you think you spotted an inconsistency, you did!
George Meyer
I guess I started to realize that being an agnostic was such a wimpy position.
George Meyer
There's absolutely no way that something I do on my own is going to be seen in Malaysia.
George Meyer
As a writer you sometimes feel the need to shake things up.
George Meyer
I prefer to linger on the periphery before making a commitment.
George Meyer
You have to respect people's suffering. To deny that the world is unfair and painful for most of the people living in it would be false and judgmental.
George Meyer
I want to be tolerant of other people's beliefs. I have wonderful friends who are religious, and I don't want to say that they're dimwits. They should certainly be able to pursue what works for them. I'm just saying that it doesn't work for me and I don't want to pretend that it does.
George Meyer
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.
George Meyer
Launching a new TV show is probably one of the most difficult things that a writer can do.
George Meyer
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.
George Meyer
I'm a pessimist, but I have many painstakingly applied coats of optimism.
George Meyer
I have nothing but respect for the purist who won't work for the pharaoh. But I'm not that strong.
George Meyer
Instead of three networks you have three hundred or three thousand. Audiences are inundated with programming, and that sometimes gives them a sense of petulant entitlement.
George Meyer
