Lenny Bruce quotes

“Every day people are straying away from the church and going back to God.”

“I am influenced by every second of my waking hour.”

“If Jesus had been killed twenty years ago, Catholic school children would be wearing little electric chairs around their necks instead of crosses.”

“Liberals can understand everything but people who don't understand them.”

“Satire is tragedy plus time. You give it enough time, the public, the reviewers will allow you to satirize it. Which is rather ridiculous, when you think about it.”

“The 'what should be' never did exist, but people keep trying to live up to it. There is no 'what should be,' there is only what is.”

“There is only what is and that's it. What should be is a dirty lie.”
