George Carlin słynne cytaty
You Are All Diseased (1999)
Jammin' in New York (1992)
Wariant: Ziemia przetrwała gorsze rzeczy niż my. Trzęsienia ziemi, wybuchy wulkanów, ruchy tektoniczne, dryf kontynentalny, rozbłyski słoneczne, plamy na słońcu, burze magnetyczne, zmiany biegunów magnetycznych, setki tysięcy lat bombardowania przez asteroidy, meteory i komety, globalne powodzie i pożary, promieniowanie kosmiczne, epoki lodowcowe... i niby jakieś papierowe torby i aluminiowe puszki mają jej zrobić różnicę?

George Carlin Cytaty o ludziach
You Are All Diseased (1999)
Wariant: Religia to najgłupsza rzecz, jaką kiedykolwiek wymyślono. Pomyślcie tylko. Religii właściwie udało się przekonać ludzi, że istnieje jakiś niewidzialny człowiek, który żyje w niebie, obserwuje wszystko co robisz każdej minuty i każdego dnia! Ma listę 10 rzeczy których nie pozwala ci robić. A jeśli zrobisz którąkolwiek z nich, to ma specjalne miejsce pełne ognia, i dymu, i swądu, tortur i katuszy, gdzie ześle cię, żebyś żył i cierpiał, palił się i dusił, krzyczał i płakał przez całą wieczność, aż do końca czasu. Ale on cię kocha!

George Carlin cytaty
„Mówię do siebie, bo jestem jedyną osobą, z której zdaniem się liczę.”
Źródło: „Reader's Digest. Przegląd – edycja polska”, 5/2003, s. 23

It's Bad for Ya! (2008)
„Myślę, że on jest tam na górze i się do nas uśmiecha.”
Do ludzi najwyraźniej nie dochodzi, że ich ukochani zmarli mogą być w piekle (...) Choć w sumie, jeśli ktoś trafił do piekła, to nie przypuszczam, żeby się uśmiechał. „Myślę, że on jest tam na dole, wrzeszczy do nas i okropnie cierpi.”
It's Bad for Ya! (2008)
George Carlin: Cytaty po angielsku
“The main reason Santa is so jolly is because he knows where all the bad girls live.”
Wariant: The main reason Santa is so jolly is because he knows where all the bad girls live.
Cf. Bernard Shaw, Back to Methuselah (1921), Pt. I : In the Beginning: I hear you say "Why?" Always "Why?" You see things; and you say "Why?" But I dream things that never were; and I say "Why not?"
Books, Brain Droppings (1997)
Wariant: 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 shit.
“Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”
Doin' It Again, Parental Advisory: Explicit Lyrics (1990)
Kontekst: I know that. Some people don't want you to mention certain things. Some people don't want you to say this, some people don't want you to say that. Some people think if you mention some things they might happen. Some people are really fucking stupid. Did you ever notice that, how many stupid people you run into during the day? Goddamn there's a lot of stupid bastards walking around. Carry a pad and pencil with you, you'll wind up with thirty or forty names by the end of the day. Think about this; think about how stupid the average person is, and then realize that half of 'em are stupider than that.
“Scratch any cynic and you will find a disappointed idealist.”
Wariant: Inside every cynical person, there is a disappointed idealist.

“How come when it’s us, it’s an abortion, and when it’s a chicken, it’s an omelette?”
"Abortion"
Back in Town (1996)
Kontekst: Here's another question I have. How come when it's us, it's an abortion, and when it's a chicken, it's an omelet? Are we so much better than chickens all of a sudden? When did this happen; that we passed chickens in goodness? Name six ways we're better than chickens... See, nobody can do it! You know why? 'Cause chickens are decent people. You don't see chickens hanging around in drug gangs, do you? No. You don't see a chicken strapping some guy to a chair and hooking up his nuts to a car battery, do you? When's the last chicken you heard about came home from work and beat the shit out of his hen, huh? Doesn't happen... 'cause chickens are decent people.
“I went from a comedian who wrote his own material to a writer who performed his own material.”
New York Times Interview, 1995
Interviews, Print Interviews
Kontekst: After "Jammin' In New York", I went from a comedian who wrote his own material to a writer who performed his own material... I became socially conscious, and found I had something to say that wasn't too common.
Archive of American Television http://www.emmytvlegends.org/interviews/people/george-carlin, from one of Carlin's final interviews (2008) <br class="br">Interviews, Television Appearances <br class="br">Kontekst: You know what, I said it this way: when you're born in this world, you're given a ticket to the freak show. And when you're born in America, you're given a front row seat. And some of us get to sit there with notebooks. And I'm a notebook kind of guy: [pretends to be taking notes] "Oh, my God, did you see that? Did you see what he just did?..." And I watch the freak show, and I kept my notes, and I make up stuff about it, and I talk about the freaks. And the freaks are all humans, and they are all like me, and we are all the same. I'm not better, I'm not different, I'm just apart now. I'm separate, I'm over here, because I put myself out of the mix. I don't have a stake at the outcome. I'm not a cheerleader for a given outcome now.
