Like on the airlines, they say they want to 'pre-board'. Well, what the hell is 'pre board'? What does that mean? To get on before you get on?

If you nail a tool shed close...

If you nail a tool shed closed, how do you put the hammer away?

George Carlin 952 quotes

Baseball begins in the spring...

Baseball begins in the spring, the season of new life. Football begins in the fall, when everything's dying.

George Carlin 952 quotes

If everyone in the world sat ...

If everyone in the world sat quietly at the same time, closed their eyes and concentrated as hard as they could on peace and goodwill, all the killing and cruelty in the world would continue. And probably increase.

When you think about it, attention-deficit order makes a lot of sense. In this country there isn't a lot worth paying attention to.

Rhetoric paints with a broad brush.

How can it be a spy satellite if they announce on television that it's a spy satellite?

It was just a compulsion. In fact, I soon realized that the only thing I really enjoyed was the actual snorting.

Shopping and buying and getting and having comprise the Great American Addiction. No one is immune. When the underclass riots in this country they don't kill policemen and politicians, they steal merchandise. How embarrassing.

An art thief is a man who takes pictures.

Without the laughs, the audience wouldn't be there at all, so in that sense, yes, I am a comedian.

George Carlin 952 quotes

People have material needs, but you don't need a deodorant for every different day of the week. You don't need four hundred varieties of mustard. This is what I call too many choices. There are too many choices in America.

George Carlin 952 quotes

The whole problem with this i...

The whole problem with this idea of obscenity and indecency, and all of these things - bad language and whatever - it's all caused by one basic thing, and that is: religious superstition.

George Carlin 952 quotes

Running isn't a sport because...

Running isn't a sport because anyone can do it. Anything we can all do can't be a sport. I can run, you can run. My mother can run, you don't see her on the cover of Sports Illustrated do you?

George Carlin 952 quotes

I don't consider myself a cyn...

I don't consider myself a cynic. I think of myself as a skeptic and a realist. But I understand the word "cynic" has more than one meaning, and I see how I could be seen as cynical. "George, you're cynical." Well, you know, they say if you scratch a cynic you find a disappointed idealist. And perhaps the flame still flickers a little, you know?

Eventually, alas, I realized the main purpose of buying cocaine is to run out of it.

The older you get, the better you realize you were.

There are actually people who go out and re-fight these battles. You know what I say? Use real ammunition! You just might raise the intelligence level of the American gene pool!

George Carlin 952 quotes

The whole problem with the wo...

The whole problem with the world today: private property. If no one owned anything, it would be a lot better. There's even an entire industry devoted to keeping an eye on other people's stuff. This is how stupid it's got. If you decide to get rid of a lot of your stuff, you can give it to a thrift shop or to Goodwill.

George Carlin 952 quotes

It's nothing but a big stroke...

It's nothing but a big stroke job in this country. The government strokes you every day of your life. Religion never stops stroking you. Big business gives you a good stroke. And it's one big, transcontinental, cross-country, red, white and blue stroke job... Do you know what the national emblem for this country ought to be? Forget that bald eagle. The national emblem of this country ought to be Uncle Sam standing naked at attention saluting, and seated on a chair next to him, the Statue of Liberty jerking him off. That would be a good symbol for the United Strokes of America.
