“Existem noites em que os lobos ficam em silêncio, e apenas a lua uiva.”

“Eu vivo de acordo com certas regras. A primeira delas: Eu não acredito em nada que o governo me diz.”

“É o velho padrão duplo americano…fale uma coisa, faça outra diferente. E é claro que esse país foi fundado no padrão duplo, essa é a nossa história, nós fomos fundados no mais puro padrão duplo. Este país foi fundado por donos de escravos que queriam se tornar livres! Não estou certo? Um grupo de donos de escravos que queria se tornar livres! Então eles mataram um monte de ingleses brancos para que eles pudessem continuar sendo donos de seus africanos negros para que eles pudessem então dizimar o resto dos índios peles vermelhas e fossem para o oeste roubar o resto das terras dos mexicanos pardos, dando a eles um lugar para decolarem e lançarem suas bombas atômicas nos japôneses amarelos! Sabe qual é o lema? Sabe qual é o lema que este país deveria adotar? Você nos dá uma cor e nós acabamos com ela!”

“Se um homem sorri o tempo todo, ele provavelmente está vendendo algo que não funciona.”

“Por quê o planeta terra parece mais o trabalho de um estagiário relaxado do que o produto de uma consciência superior, toda poderosa e sábia?”

“Religião chegou a convencer as pessoas de que existe um homem-invisível morando no céu, que vê tudo que você faz, todo dia, a todo instante. E esse homem-invisível criou uma lista de 10 coisas que ele não quer que você faça. Se você fizer uma dessas 10 coisas, ele tem um lugar especial cheio de fogo, fumaça, ardor, tortura e angústia, para onde ele te envia para sofrer e se queimar e se sufocar e gritar e chorar para todo o sempre até o fim dos tempos…mas ele te ama! Ele te ama e precisa de dinheiro!”

“Se existe um Deus, acho que a maioria das pessoas devem concordar que Ele é, no mínimo, incompetente e talvez, simplesmente não quer saber.”

“Já tentei acreditar que existe um Deus que criou cada um de nós a sua imagem e semelhança, que nos ama muito e observa tudo. Eu realmente tentei acreditar. Mas tenho que lhes dizer a verdade: quanto mais você vive, quanto mais você olha ao seu redor, mais você percebe: alguma coisa esta errada.(…) Isso não é um trabalho bem feito, se isso é o melhor que Deus pode fazer não me impressiona.”

“Deus criou o Plano Divino, colocou-o em pratica e, por bilhões e bilhões de anos o Plano Divino estava indo muito bem. Agora você vem e reza por algo. Suponhamos que o que você quer não está no Plano? O que quer que Deus faça? Mude o Plano? Só por sua causa? Não acha que é meio arrogante de sua parte?(…)Suponhamos que suas preces não sejam atendidas, o que você diz? Oh, é desejo de Deus. Assim seja. Tá bom, mas se é desejo de Deus e se ele vai fazer o que quer de qualquer modo, pra quê diabos serve rezar?”

“Ninguém sabe descrever ao certo com o que uma área deserta se parece.”

“I think we need some new Christmas carols with a more modern approach. Of course, I wouldn’t abandon the religious theme completely. How about “Holy Christ, the Christmas Tree’s on Fire”?

“During bombing raids in Iraq, the media liked to say that Saddam Hussein used people as human shields. That's not accurate. Although it's true they were used as shields, the fact is they were humans already. So if these humans were used as shields, they were human shields. They weren't being used as human shields. Got that?”

“I decided to look around for something else to worship. Something I could really count on. And immediately, I thought of the sun. Happened like that. Overnight I became a sun-worshiper. Well, not overnight, you can't see the sun at night. But first thing the next morning, I became a sun-worshiper. Several reasons. First of all, I can see the sun, okay? Unlike some other gods I could mention, I can actually see the sun. I'm big on that. If I can see something, I don't know, it kind of helps the credibility along, you know?…”

“Nobody goes right to work. You might get there on time, but, screw the company, those first twenty minute belong to you, right? It's not an attitude in line with the American Spirit, but there it is: we all screw around first. "I just got here, man, you kiddin' me?"”

“The Paradox of Our Time is one of many stories that has been forwarded around the internet and attributed to Carlin, but is actually by Bob Moorehead.”

“Next time you're at a wishing well. Doesn't happen often. Next time you're at a wishing well ask to see the manager! Tell him you've been coming there for 10 years and none of your wishes have come true. Either you gimme my money back—or I'm shittin' in the well!”

“I do not torture animals, and I do not support the torture of animals, such as that which goes on at rodeos: cowardly men in big hats abusing simple beasts in a fruitless search for manhood. In fact, I regularly pray for serious, life-threatening rodeo injuries. I wish for a cowboy to walk crooked, and with great pain, for the rest of his life.”

“I don’t believe in road rage; I prefer the gentle rebuke. If I don’t like the way someone is driving, I pull up alongside the other car and say, “I hope your children turn out poorly.” Only once have I lost my cool. That was the time I said to a woman, “I hope you get a blister on your cunt.’ But I said it with a smile.”

“Don Ho can sign autographs 3.4 times faster than Ephraim Zimbalist Jr.”

“Think of the intellect it must take to derive pleasure from this activity: Hitting a ball with a crooked stick…and walking after it! And then…hitting it again! I say pick it up, asshole, you're lucky you found the fuckin' thing! Put it in your pocket and go home, you're a winner! You're a winner! But no, Dorko in the plaid knickers is gonna hit it again, and walk some more.”

“If you take five white guys and put 'em with five black guys, and let 'em hang around together for about a month, and at the end of the month, you'll notice that the white guys are walking and talking and standing like the black guys do. You'll never see the black guys going, "Oh, golly! We won the big game today, yes sir!"”

“So about 80 years after the Constitution is ratified, the slaves are freed. Not so you'd really notice it of course; just kinda on paper. And that of course was at the end of the Civil War. Now there is another phrase I dearly love. That is a true oxymoron if I've ever heard one — civil war. D'you think anybody in this country could ever really have a civil war? "Say, pardon me…*machinegun sounds*… I'm awfully sorry! Awfully sorry."
Now of course the Civil War has been over for about 120 years. But… not so you'd really notice it. Because you see we have these people called "Civil War buffs"… in fact some of these people actually get dressed up once a year and then go out and re-fight these battles. D'you know what I say to these people? USE LIVE AMMUNITION ASSHOLES, WOULD YA PLEASE?! You might just raise the intelligence level of the American gene pool!”

“One of the more pretentious political self-descriptions is "libertarian". People think it puts them above the fray. It sounds fashionable and, to the uninitiated, faintly dangerous. Actually, it's just one more bullshit political philosophy.”

“I was on a talk show recently, and the host asked me, "What do you think about the dope problem?" I said, "Definitely, I feel we have too many dopes." No question about it. That's why we have a drug problem, I feel; it's because everyone has access to drugs… it's all those DRUG stores, right? Every three or four blocks, there's a big sign: "DRUGS", "Open All Night – DRUGS", "We Deliver – DRUGS", "Cut-rate DRUGS"… it's the biggest thing on their sign: "Cosmetics – Sundries – DRUGS".”

“Floating around the Internet these days, posted and e-mailed back and forth, are a number of writings attributed to me, and I want people to know they're not mine. Don't blame me.Some are essay-length, some are just short lists of one and two-line jokes, but if they're flyin' around the Internet, they're probably not mine. Occasionally, a couple of jokes on a long list might have come from me, but not often. And because most of this stuff is really lame, it's embarrassing to see my name on it.And that's the problem. I want people to know that I take care with my writing, and try to keep my standards high. But most of this "humor" on the Internet is just plain stupid. I guess hard-core fans who follow my stuff closely would be able to spot the fake stuff, because the tone of voice is so different. But a casual fan has no way of knowing, and it bothers me that some people might believe I'd actually be capable of writing some of this stuff.”

“For years I asked God to do something about my noisy neighbor with the barking dog, Joe Pesci straightened that cocksucker out with one visit. It's amazing what you can accomplish with a simple baseball bat. ”

“And camcorders: here is technology gone berserk. Everywhere you go now, there’s some dick, some yo-yo, some putz with a camcorder, and he is going to tape…EVERYTHING! Doesn’t anyone in this country stop and LOOK AT THINGS anymore? Sort of take them in? Maybe even…remember them? Is that such a strange notion. Does experience need to be documented and brought home and saved on a shelf? And do people really watch this shit? Are people’s lives so bankrupt they sit at home looking at things they already DID?”

“I never fucked a 10, but one night I fucked 5 twos!”

“Undisputed heavyweight champion.”

“Some people try to get out of jury duty by lying. You don't have to lie. Tell the judge the truth. Tell him you'd make a terrific juror because you can spot guilty people [snaps fingers] just like that!”

“I hate groups of people but I love individuals. Every single person, you can see the universe in their eyes if you're really looking.”
