"When you're born in this world you're..." - Quote by George Carlin

“When I listen to those tapes now, the real cocaine shows; there's just nothing special about their content.”

“Why should it be illegal to sell something that's perfectly legal to give away?”

“On the other hand, pot opens windows and doors that you may not be able to get through any other way.”

“What fetched me instantly (and thousands of other newcomers with me) was the subtle but unmistakable sense of escape from the United States.”

“Nine out of ten Americans are actually monarchists at bottom. The fact is proved by their high suseptibility to political claims by president's sons and other relatives, usually nonentities.”

“All of the great patriots now engaged in edging and squirming their way toward the Presidency of the Republic run true to form. That is to say, they are all extremely wary, and all more or less palpable frauds. What they want, primarily, is the job; the necessary equipment of unescapable issues, immutable principles and soaring ideals can wait until it becomes more certain which way the mob will be whooping.”

“Listen now. When people talk listen completely. Don't be thinking what you're going to say. Most people never listen. Nor do they observe.”

“All looked distant and peaceful and strange. The shore seemed refined, far away, unreal. Already the little distance they had sailed had put them far from it and given it the changed look, the composed look, of something receding in which one has no longer any part.”

“In Hawaii they say, "aloha." That's a nice one, It means both "hello" and "good-bye" Which just goes to show, if you spend enough time in the sun you don't know whether you're coming or going.”
