More quotes by Penn Jillette
The Tea Party claims to want small government.
Penn Jillette
There are two things that have been true throughout history in big hunks. You can find differences in ten years, but in 50 year hunks, 100 years hunks, you'll find two things to be true. One, the world is always getting better. Two, people always think it's getting worse.
Penn Jillette
I didn't learn fire-eating to conquer my fears. I learned fire-eating because I desperately wanted to be in show business.
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. There might be some other nonsense in its place, but not that exact nonsense. If all of science were wiped out, it would still be true and someone would find a way to figure it all out again.
Penn Jillette
The First Amendment says nothing about your getting paid for saying anything. It just says you can say it. I don't believe that if a corporation pulls all the money out of you or a network pulls their money away or you get fired, you're being censored.
Penn Jillette
To drive a car in rural America is freedom. Before I had a car, I'd never seen a rock and roll show, I'd never seen a comic or a show.
Penn Jillette
Hypocrisy is annoying but not evil. Someone who says one thing and does another has doubled their chances of being half right.
Penn Jillette
I love the idea that horror and fear is a celebration of health and life.
Penn Jillette
Every time something really bad happens, people cry out for safety, and the government answers by taking rights away from good people
Penn Jillette
This I believe: I believe there is no God.
Penn Jillette
In reality, many people let go of religion later in life.
Penn Jillette
Everyone's goals are the same with very small differences. I mean, the goal of a socialist and the goal of a libertarian are exactly the same. The goals are happiness and security and freedom, and you balance those.
Penn Jillette
Penn & Teller stopped doing practical jokes, and the reason is we got much too good at it.
Penn Jillette
No one can tell you the rules of 'Celebrity Apprentice.' No one. Donald Trump just does what he wants, which is mostly pontificating to people who are sucking up to him, while the network people try to manipulate him into making the highest-rated show they can.
Penn Jillette
'Psycho' is fascinating philosophically, because the point of 'Psycho' is that everything that's bad happens because of love.
Penn Jillette
If you can just convince the dope people that the gun people are right and the gun people that the dope people are right, we could actually live in a lot more freedom.

Bob Barr is not crazy enough for my taste.
Penn Jillette
I believe the fast track to atheism is reading the Bible. I've read it three times all the way through. It's a big part of our culture, a big part of our history. I don't just read things I agree with.
Penn Jillette
Cheerios bring back memories. I actually don't think I ate them much as a kid, though maybe it's some sort of Jungian memory, I don't know. But they have so much sugar, it's great.

I'm an amazing mama's boy.
