"I'm not a conspiracy theorist, I'm a conspiracy analyst. Everything I say is based on facts."
"Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things."
"I'm not a pessimist. I'm a realist. I just happen to believe that reality is a dark, depressing, and ultimately meaningless place."
"I think it's the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is and to cross it deliberately."
"I'm not a savior. I'm just a guy who's trying to help people."
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.
