"Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things."
"Don't just teach your children to read. Teach them to question what they read. Teach them to question everything."
"I don't believe in luck. I believe in preparation. I believe in seizing opportunities. I believe in making your own luck."
About George Carlin (1937-2008)
American stand-up comedian whose 'Seven Words You Can't Say on Television' (1972) reached the Supreme Court and reshaped US obscenity law. Closely associated with Richard Pryor (countercultural-comedy peer) and Lenny Bruce (predecessor in obscenity-law fights). For an intellectual contrast, see Tipper Gore, co-founder of the Parents Music Resource Center — the PMRC's 1985 Senate hearings on 'explicit' content labeling are exactly the cultural-establishment force Carlin's free-speech comedy was organized against.
