You found some good ones here. Carlin is always fun. It's somewhat sad that humans have not changed over all those years, Confucius could have writen all of it this morning.

I'm quietly reading the quotes,thinking they are pretty good, until I came to the last one and started laughing and thinking"is that all it is?" I'm still smiling over that one. Thanks Don...................

Steven Wright got a few guffaws out of me this morning.

When I'm on stage, it's really intense. My mind is going a million miles an hour, trying to remember my act, trying to say it all the right way. It's funny how different it looks and how it's happening. There are three Fellini circuses in my head, and outwardly it looks like I'm going to get a bagel. Steven Wright It doesn't matter what temperature the room is, it's always room temperature. Steven Wright I went down the street to the 24-hour grocery. When I got there, the guy was locking the front door. I said, 'Hey, the sign says you're open 24 hours.' He said, 'Yes, but not in a row.' Steven Wright I had some eyeglasses. I was walking down the street when suddenly the prescription ran out. Steven Wright When I was on TV in the '80s, I wasn't thinking, 'There's a 10-year-old kid watching this and in 15 years, he's gonna be doing stuff that was influenced by me.' I was trying to get my five minutes together. So now that those people are comedians and they're influenced by me - it's bizarre. Steven Wright One day a guy tried to rob me on the street, and I had no money. So I charged him. Steven Wright I love eating chocolate cake and ice cream after a show. I almost justify it in my mind as, 'You were a good boy onstage and you did your show, so now you can have some cake and ice cream.' Steven Wright I was born. When I was 23 I started telling jokes. Then I started going on television and doing films. That's still what I am doing. The end. Steven Wright Very rarely do I talk off the top of my head on stage. I'm not an improv guy. I'm a writer-guy who presents what he's written. Steven Wright My act is an exaggeration of a part of me. I'm much more expressive off stage. Steven Wright I think God's going to come down and pull civilization over for speeding. Steven Wright To me, comedy is just twisting reality. It's commenting or observing or twisting life. Steven Wright I didn't tell any of my friends that I wanted to be a comedian, because I was superstitious. I thought if I told people, it wouldn't happen. So I kept it all in my head for years and years. Steven Wright Don't you hate when your hand falls asleep and you know it will be up all night. Steven Wright I don't like politicians, and I don't like politics. I definitely don't want to be associated with any of them. Steven Wright I met this wonderful girl at Macy's. She was buying clothes and I was putting Slinkies on the escalator. Steven Wright In a lot of ways, success is much harder than I thought it would be. I figured that you'd get here and then everything would be happily ever after. But, it's hard work, almost harder once you're successful because you've got to maintain it. Steven Wright Only one in four jokes ever works, and I still can't predict what people will laugh at. Steven Wright I'm writing an unauthorized autobiography. Steven Wright George is a radio announcer, and when he walks under a bridge... you can't hear him talk. Steven Wright Real life? Well, I just hope mine isn't investigated. They might find that I don't really exist - that I'm just a hologram. Steven Wright I got this powdered water - now I don't know what to add. Steven Wright It seems like we wake up and it's a race until you get to bed. It gets to you after a while and you think, 'What the hell am I doing?' Steven Wright I went to the bank and asked to borrow a cup of money. They said, 'What for?' I said, 'I'm going to buy some sugar.' Steven Wright I feel lucky that I can have people laugh solidly for a whole hour by just saying what I think and getting paid for it. Steven Wright My favorite book is anything by Kurt Vonnegut - he's my literary hero. I got to meet him several times, which was a great thrill for me. I don't really remember what we talked about. Steven Wright I like to talk about lint and coasters, the expansion of the universe and maybe McDonald's. I'm completely turned off by the idea of politics. Steven Wright If you shoot at mimes, should you use a silencer? Steven Wright When I was a kid, I went to the store and asked the guy, Do you have any toy train schedules? Steven Wright You know those things that you throw the twigs into and it spits them out? That's what I do. The branches are like life, and I throw them into my head and some of it comes out as humor. Steven Wright George Carlin's album, 'Class Clown,' came out when I was in high school. I memorized a lot of that album. I'd come home from school, put it on, and listen over and over. I started memorizing it. I don't even know why. I loved it so much I memorized it. Steven Wright People may think I'm trying something new by telling stories, but they're just jokes connected to give the illusion of stories. But really, I just continue using my imagination and creating. That's what I do. Steven Wright When I die, I'm gonna leave my body to science fiction. Steven Wright I haven't changed at all. I'm the same as when I was 11. Steven Wright I was always making my friends laugh, but I never wanted the attention of the whole classroom. Steven Wright Doing stand-up is like running across a frozen pond with the ice breaking behind you. I love it because it's dangerous. Steven Wright I've been thinking of humorous things since I was... I can't remember when. All the way through elementary school, all the way through junior high, all the way through high school, through college and after college, I was thinking of the same kinds of things that I say in front of an audience now. Steven Wright I laugh all the time - at things, people, stuff, whatever. But, I don't laugh onstage because then it's serious business. Steven Wright Like other kids wanted to become firemen or astronauts, I wanted to make people laugh. Steven Wright I always thought Johnny Carson was just brilliant, and I used to watch him and all the comics that would be on the show every night - and I'd dream about it being me. Steven Wright I thought I would be a guy on the radio. Steven Wright At one point he decided enough was enough. Steven Wright I don't get up, get dressed, go out, and think, 'Okay, I gotta find eight jokes.' Steven Wright
