Every day people are straying away from the church and going back to God.
Lenny Bruce
Image
Every group, every system has a set of values and morals and when you get outside those, then the alarms ring. I was politically incorrect to 95% of the country luckily my 5% had the bread to come see me.

There is only what is and that's it. What should be is a dirty lie.
Lenny Bruce

If something about the human body disgusts you, the fault lies with the manufacturer.

What is truth today may be a damn lie next week.
Lenny Bruce
Image
I've been accused of bad taste, and I'll go down to my grave accused of it and always by the same people, the ones who eat in restaurants that reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.
Lenny Bruce
Image
Once the country was settled and built, the bosses changed the order from a stack of educated workers to a barrel of minimum wage lottery dreamers.
Lenny Bruce

Once you sleep on feathers you can't go back to sleeping on the floor.
Lenny Bruce

You can't do anything with anybody's body to make it dirty to me. Six people, eight people, one person - you can do only one thing to make it dirty: kill it. Hiroshima was dirty.
