Lenny Bruce
Image
Satire is tragedy plus time.
Lenny Bruce
Image
My only challenge was to tell my truth, man... figure out what I had to say. These days, it's not enough to boost that roomful of strangers. The young comic spends all their time trying to sound different from the million other jokesters grabbing for the mic.

Life is a four-letter word.

Image
Alright, let's admit it, we Jews killed Christ - but it was only for three days.

Lenny Bruce
Image
If something about the human body disgusts you, the fault lies with the manufacturer.
Lenny Bruce
Image
I would become a priest or a rabbi or a monk or whatever the hell was necessary to perform miracles such as taking money from someone else's pocket and putting it into mine, still remaining within the confines of the law.
Lenny Bruce
Image
Every group needs a comedian. A comic who is politically incorrect at the Berkeley campus might slay them at a Klan rally.
Lenny Bruce
Image
There is only what is and that's it. What should be is a dirty lie.
Lenny Bruce
Image
Never trust a preacher with more than two suits.
Lenny Bruce
Image
I am influenced by every second of my waking hour.
Lenny Bruce

You know there's no crooked politicians. There's never a lie because there is never any truth.
Lenny Bruce

Darwin's theory is as dead as he is. Everyone is surviving, fit or not. Years ago, any kid dumb enough to chase a shiny object down a well was dead, and out of the gene pool. Now they got the technology and medicine to save the fool so he can breed more open mouth breathers.
