Era atit de mult deasupra confratilor sai incit trebuie sa fi fost un geniu.
Comentariile sale despre politica, religie, limbaj vor ramine incomparabile.
Tare dor o sa-mi fie de George Carlin. Chiar daca si-a batut joc de religie ca nimeni altul Dumnezeu trebuie sa aiba simtul umorului si o sa-l odihneasca.

M-am gindit sa traduc citeva citate din vastul material al lui Carlin dar s-ar pierde mult prin traducere asa ca le-am lasat in engleza :

"- I think it's the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn and cross it deliberately.

- Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.

- If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little.

- Some people see things that are and ask, Why? Some people dream of things that never were and ask, Why not? Some people have to go to work and don't have time for all that.

- Weather forecast for tonight: dark.

- When you're born you get a ticket to the freak show. When you're born in America, you get a front row seat.

- You know the good part about all those executions in Texas? Fewer Texans.

- I'm always relieved when someone is delivering a eulogy and I realize I'm listening to it."

Din pacate elogiul lui n-o sa-l mai auda.
