We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.
The reason I talk to myself is that I'm the only one whose answers I accept.
Most people are not particularly good at anything.
Age is a hell of a price to pay for wisdom.
I noticed that all the prayers I used to offer to God, and all the prayers I now offer to Joe Pesci, are being answered at about the same fifty percent rate. Half the time I get what I want, half the time I don't...Same as the four-leaf clover and the horseshoe...same as the voodoo lady who tells you your fortune by squeezing the goat's testicles. It's all the same...so just pick your superstition, sit back, make a wish, and enjoy yourself...
So I live in Los Angeles, and it's kind of a goofy place. They have an airport named after John Wayne. That ought to explain it. It has a charming kind of superstitious innocence.
Religion is just mind control.
People who say they don't care what people think are usually desperate to have people think they don't care what people think.
How come when it’s us, it’s an abortion, and when it’s a chicken, it’s an omelette?
Religion has what is EASILY the greatest bullshit story of all time.
There's a humorous side to every situation. The challenge is to find it.
We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
You know an odd feeling? Sitting on the toilet eating a chocolate candy bar.
There's no present. There's only the immediate future and the recent past.
