Penn Jillette
If you like the stuff I do, my chances of liking you go up.

Penn Jillette
When someone is trying to interpret something for you, they always have an agenda.

Penn Jillette
If every trace of any single religion were wiped out and nothing were passed on, it would never be created exactly that way again.
