End of an Era
As most of you know by now, George Carlin died this past weekend. For those of us who love diddling with the English language, he was a role model and hero. For those of us who despise hypocrisy and bullshit, he will be sorely missed. Anyway, here are two favorite quotes I'd like to share -- one about him and one by him.
"He didn’t seem stoned, exactly, but a lot of his humor appeared to come from that part of the brain that lesser people need drugs to activate." -- from a NYTimes Obituary
“Scratch any cynic,” he said, “and you’ll find a disappointed idealist.” -- George Carlin
