More from George Carlin
"I'm not a pessimist. I'm a realist. I just think the world is a fucked-up place."
"We're all fucked. It helps to remember that."
"All my best words are those that I stole from other people."
"I have a lot of problems with 'the system.' But you know what I do when I encounter a system I can't handle? I don't try to change it. I don't complain about it. I just find a way to get around it."
"I'm not a nihilist. I'm just a person who doesn't believe in anything."
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.
