I like it when a flower or a little tuft of grass grows through a crack in the concrete. It's so fuckin' optimistic.

"If it weren't for the fact that the TV set and the refrigerator are so far apart, some of us wouldn't get any exercise at all."
"I'm a pessimist. I'm really good at it. I've been practicing for a long time."
"I'm not a genius. I'm just a guy who's smart enough to know what he doesn't know."
"I'm not a hero. I'm just a guy who tells jokes for a living."
"Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?"
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.
