"I never worry that all hell will..." - Quote by George Carlin

“The fact that I didn't finish school left me with a lifelong need to prove that I'm smart, prove it to myself, maybe to the world. I [also] needed to be - not the center of attention - but I needed to be able to attract attention when I wanted it, through my stunts and my fooling around physically with faces or postures or voices I would do. Those things are important elements in the drive behind all of this [my career].”

“Every day I beat my own previous record for the number of consecutive days I’ve stayed alive.”

“I don't really identify with America, I don't really feel like an American or part of the American experience, and I don't really feel like a member of the human race, to tell you the truth. I know I am, but I really don't. All the definitions are there, but I don't really feel a part of it. I think I have found a detached point of view, an ideal emotional detachment from the American experience and culture and the human experience and culture and human choices.”

“Don't worry about who doesn't like you, who has more, or who's doing what.”

“Our worst misfortunes never happen, and most miseries lie in anticipation.”

“Achievements, seldom credited to their source, are the result of unspeakable drudgery and worries.”

“Now let it work. Mischief, thou art afoot. Take thou what course thou wilt.”

“The fairest order in the world is a heap of random sweepings.”

“The tumultuous populace of large cities are ever to be dreaded. Their indiscriminate violence prostrates for the time all public authority, and its consequences are sometimes extensive and terrible.”
