More quotes by 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
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 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
The most oblivious people are often the happiest.
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
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
When people have no interest in a subject, it's very hard to get them to laugh about it.
George Meyer
As a writer you sometimes feel the need to shake things up.
George Meyer

George Meyer
Every joke can't be dazzling. And if you think you spotted an inconsistency, you did!
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 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
If there's reason for hope, it lies in man's occasional binges of cooperation. To save our planet, we'll need that kind of heroic effort, in which all types of people join forces for the common good
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.
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
I have a deep suspicion of social institutions and tradition in general.
George Meyer
I don't like the antagonism that most religions have for science, and freedom and, frankly, individuality. I do like the Dalai Lama.
George Meyer
There's absolutely no way that something I do on my own is going to be seen in Malaysia.
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 not religious. I do have a baby - a four-month old girl - and that's a religion in itself.
