More quotes by Lily Tomlin

I think life is perverse. It can be beautiful, but it won't.
Lily Tomlin
Maybe if people started to listen, history would stop repeating itself.
Lily Tomlin
When I am happy I feel like crying, but when I am sad I don’t feel like laughing. I think it is better to be happy then you get two feelings for the price of one.

Lily Tomlin
There's nothing sadder than getting to the end of your life and saying, 'I didn't do it right'.
Lily Tomlin
I'm not a religious person. I don't have any desire. To me it's imitative of a conventional culture. I'm all for it for anybody. I totally have a free and open feeling about how other humans want to live their lives. It's just not something that has any real significance for me.
Lily Tomlin
We are people with lives, not consumers with lifestyles.
Lily Tomlin
No matter how cynical I get, I can't keep up.
Lily Tomlin
But there are too many people that make so much money at the cost of lives of other humans and for no reason but to make the money.
Lily Tomlin
Instead of working for the survival of the fittest, we should be working for the survival of the wittiest - then we can all die laughing.
Lily Tomlin
I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific.
Lily Tomlin
The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you're still a rat.
Lily Tomlin
Man invented language to satisfy his deep need to complain.
