Lenny Bruce died from an overdose of police Picture Quote #1

The only honest art form is laughter, comedy. You can’t fake it Picture Quote #1

Koolaid is goyish. All Drake’s Cakes are goyish. Pumpernickel is Jewish, and, as you know, white bread is very goyish. Instant potatoes - goyish. Black cherry soda’s very Jewish. Macaroons are very Jewish - very Jewish cake. Fruit salad is Jewish. Lime Jell-O is goyish. Lime soda is very goyish. Trailer parks are so goyish that Jews won’t go near them Picture Quote #1

I’m trying to think if there was ever the Lenny Bruce-y, observational, George Carlin kind of magician: You know what I hate is ... I don’t think that ever existed Picture Quote #1

I was also a big Woody Allen fan. When I got into college I listened to Lenny Bruce but it’s taken me years to put him into context historically and really get what he did Picture Quote #1

One of my greatest inspirations for stand-up was Jonathan Winters. He was a genius. One thing about him, and also Lenny Bruce, is that they were in the tradition of the one-man show. That’s why Richard Pryor was so great, and George Carlin, too. They prowled the stage, they used voices, they were really talents Picture Quote #1

If I get busted in New York, the freest city in the world, that will be the end of my career Picture Quote #1

Trying to figure things out was my gig. Without the human condition, there’s no struggle, no pain and that means no laughter Picture Quote #1

Today’s comedian has a cross to bear that he built himself. A comedian of the older generation did an act and he told the audience, This is my act. Today’s comic is not doing an act. The audience assumes he’s telling the truth. What is truth today may be a damn lie next week Picture Quote #1

I was about 12 when I heard my first Lenny Bruce record. He was already dead. But it changed my life and really did change the world Picture Quote #1

Guys are like dogs. They keep comin’ back. Ladies are like cats. Yell at a cat one time, they’re gone Picture Quote #1

You can’t do anything with anybody’s body to make it dirty to me. Six people, eight people, one person - you can do only one thing to make it dirty: kill it. Hiroshima was dirty Picture Quote #1

You put a guy on a desert island, he’ll do it to mud, a chicken, a barrel, anything, a knothole Picture Quote #1

The crooks downtown figured out that comedy is like a hammer. It can put up a barn and it can knock down a wall. So they bought it outright and marketed it as Comedy Central Picture Quote #1

The real story of our times is seldom told in the horse-puckey-filled memoirs of dopey, self-serving presidents or generals, but in the outrageous, demented lives of guys like Lenny Bruce, Giordano Bruno, Scott Fitzgerald - and Paul Krassner. The burrs under society’s saddle. The pains in the ass Picture Quote #1

You know there’s no crooked politicians. There’s never a lie because there is never any truth Picture Quote #1

There’s always a down side with any freedom. It’s not just homosexual freedom, but any sexual freedom comes at a price, and that is usually art Picture Quote #1

I won’t say ours was a tough school, but we had our own coroner. We used to write essays like: What I’m going to be if I grow up Picture Quote #1
