A Life of Wonder

I read somewhere that every stand up comedian dreamed he could play Hamlet. Carlin’s one of my favorite stand ups. The man was brilliant. Even if you disagreed with his politics, you have to appreciate his wit – and impact. In plan words, I love that he said what others won’t and called it straight.

A few favorite quotes:

“Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?”

“Most people work just hard enough not to get fired and get paid just enough money not to quit.”

“When Thomas Edison worked late into the night on the electric light, he had to do it by gas lamp or candle. I’m sure it made the work seem that much more urgent.”
