George Carlin quotes

"Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity."

"I would never want to be a member of a group whose symbol was a guy nailed to two pieces of wood."

"Some people see things that are and ask, Why? Some people dream of things that never were and ask, Why not? Some people have to go to work and don't have time for all that."

"I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death."

"Well, if crime fighters fight crime and fire fighters fight fire, what do freedom fighters fight? They never mention that part to us, do they?"

"May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house."
