"The only good thing ever to come out of religion was the music."
"The planet is fine. The people are fucked." "I think it’s the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn and cross it deliberately." "The reason I talk to myself is because I’m the only one whose answers I accept." "Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity." "If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?" "I have as much authority as the Pope, I just don’t have as many people who believe it." "There’s a lot of money in the world, but it’s not in the hands of the people who need it." "You can’t fight city hall, but you can goddamn sure blow it up!" "I don’t have to be right, I just have to be honest." |
