    George Carlin
    “To my way of thinking, there is every bit as much evidence for the
    existence of UFOs as there is for the existence of God. Probably far
    more. At least in the case of UFOs there have been countless taped
    and filmed and, by the way, unexplained sightings from all over the
    world, along with documented radar evidence seen by experienced
    military and civilian radar operators.>>”
    ― George Carlin, When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?

    “I haven't any right to criticize books, and I don't do it except when I hate them. I often want to criticize Jane Austen, but her books madden me so that I can't conceal my frenzy from the reader; and therefore I have to stop every time I begin. Every time I read Pride and Prejudice I want to dig her up and beat her over the skull with her own shin-bone.”
