George Carlin idézet
oldal 2

George Carlin amerikai humorista, színész. A stand-up comedy műfaj egyik legbefolyásosabb alakja. Leghíresebb száma a Hét szó, amely nem hangozhat el a televízióban. Ezért le is tartóztatták. Számtalan tévéműsorban és filmben is szerepelt már, például a 2006-os Verdák című animációs filmben szinkronszerepet játszott.

Carlin apja reklámmenedzser volt, anyja pedig titkárnő. 1960-ban kezdett el humorizálni. Eleinte volt partnere is, de aztán később rájött, hogy egyedül könnyebb „humorbombákat ontani”. Első albumát is partnerével adta ki. Karrierje kezdetén nem sokan figyeltek fel rá, később futott csak be komoly karriert. Sok tévéműsorban is szerepelt, komikusként és vendégszereplőként egyaránt.

George Carlin a stand-up comedy egyik leghíresebb alakja. A Comedy Central és a Rolling Stone magazin is a legjobb humoristák közé válogatta. Élete során két felesége és egy lánya volt.

Carlin 2008. június 22.-én hunyt el a kaliforniai Santa Monicában. Halálát sokan gyászolták, emlékműveket is állítottak neki.

A húsz albumon kívül még négy válogatáslemez is kikerült Carlintól. Wikipedia

George Carlin idézetek

George Carlin: Idézetek angolul

“No. No, there's no God, but there might be some sort of an organizing intelligence, and I think to understand it is way beyond our ability”

The Onion A.V. Club, September 6, 2000 http://avclub.theonion.com/avclub3631/avfeature_3631.html
Interviews, Print Interviews
Kontextus: [On the existence of God] No. No, there's no God, but there might be some sort of an organizing intelligence, and I think to understand it is way beyond our ability. It's certainly not a judgmental entity. It's certainly not paternalistic and all these qualities that have been attributed to God. It's probably a dispassionate... That's why I say, "Suppose He doesn't give a shit? Suppose there is a God but He just doesn't give a shit?" That's the kind of thing that might be at work.

“There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls.”

George Carlin könyv Brain Droppings

Forrás: Brain Droppings

“Well, if crime fighters fight crime and fire fighters fight fires, what do freedom fighters fight?”

Doin' It Again, Parental Advisory: Explicit Lyrics (1990)
Kontextus: Smug, greedy, well-fed white people have invented a language to conceal their sins. It's as simple as that. The CIA doesn't kill anybody anymore, they neutralize people, or they depopulate the area. The government doesn't lie, it engages in disinformation. The Pentagon actually measures nuclear radiation in something they call sunshine units. Israeli murderers are called commandos, Arab commandos are called terrorists. Contra killers are called freedom fighters. Well, if crime fighters fight crime, and firefighters fight fires, what do freedom fighters fight?

“Religion is just mind control.”

Doin' It Again, Parental Advisory: Explicit Lyrics (1990)
Kontextus: Same with religion. Religion is nothing but mind control. Religion is just trying to control your mind, control your thoughts, so they're gonna tell you some things you shouldn't say because they're... sins. And besides telling you things you shouldn't say, religion is gonna suggest some things that you ought to be saying; "Here's something you ought to say first thing when you wake up in the morning; here's something you ought to say just before you go to sleep at night; here's something we always say on the third Wednesday in April after the first full moon in spring at 4 o'clock when the bells ring." Religion is always suggesting things you ought to be saying.

“Bullshit is truly the American soundtrack.”

"American Bullshit"
You Are All Diseased (1999)
Kontextus: Living in this country, you're bound to know, every time you're exposed to advertising, you realize once again that America's leading industry, America's most profitable business is still: the manufacture, packaging, distribution and marketing of bullshit. High-quality, grade-A, prime-cut, pure, American bullshit. And the sad part is, is that most people seem to have been indoctrinated to believe that bullshit only comes from certain places, certain sources: advertising, politics, salesmen – not true. Bullshit is everywhere. Bullshit is rampant. Parents are full of shit, teachers are full of shit, clergymen are full of shit, and law enforcement people are full... of... shit – this entire country. This entire country is completely full of shit, and always has been. From the Declaration of Independence to the Constitution to the Star-Spangled Banner, it's still nothing more than one big steaming pile of red, white and blue, all-American bullshit. Because, think of how we started. Think of that. This country was founded by a group of slave-owners who told us all men are created equal. Oh yeah, all men, except for Indians and niggers and women, right? I always like to use that authentic American language. This was a small group of unelected, white, male, land-holding, slave-owners who also suggested their class be the only one allowed to vote. Now, that is what's known as being stunningly and embarrassingly full of shit. And I think Americans really show their ignorance when they say they want their politicians to be honest. What are these fuckin' cretins talking about? If honesty were suddenly introduced into American life, the whole system would collapse! No one would know what to do! Honesty would FUCK THIS COUNTRY UP!!

“I'm happy to tell you there is very little in this world that I believe in.”
