101 Greatest George Carlin Quotes

George Carlin
The man who once said “life is worth losing” is dead. But his quotes live on. 
  1. I don’t have pet peeves — I have major psychotic fucking hatreds!
  2. Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

That you can’t say on TV? Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker and tits.
