Bill Hicks Quotes "See i think drugs have done some good things for us, If you dont think drugs have done good things for us then do me a favor. Go home tonight and take all your records, all your tapes and all your CD's and burn them. Because you know all those musicians who made all that great music that's enhanced your lives throughout the years? Rrrrrreeeeeeaaaaaalllll fucking high on drugs" "Children are smarter than any of us. Know how I know that? I don't know one child with a full time job and children" "Childbirth is no more a miracle then eating food and a turd coming out of your ass." "We gotta come to some new ideas about life folks ok? I'm not being blase about abortion, it might be a real issue, it might not, doesn't matter to me. What matters is that if you believe in the sanctity of life then you believe it for life of all ages. That's what I hate about this child-worship syndrome going on. "Save the children! They're killing children! How many children were at Waco? They're killing children!" What does that mean? They reach a certain age and they're off your fucking love-list? Fuck your children, if that's the way you think then fuck you too. You either love all people of all ages or you shut the fuck up." "Because you know if you play New Kids on the Block albums backwards they sound better. "Oh come on, Bill, they're the New Kids, don't pick on them, they're so good and they're so clean cut and they're such a good image for the children." Fuck that! When did mediocrity and banality become a good image for your children? I want my children to listen to people who fucking ROCKED! I don't care if they died in puddles of their own vomit! I want someone who plays from his fucking HEART!" "Here is my final point. About drugs, about alcohol, about pornography and smoking and everything else. What business is it of yours what I do, read, buy, see, say, think, who I fuck, what I take into my body - as long as I do not harm another human being on this planet?" "Why is marijuana against the law? It grows naturally upon our planet. Doesn't the idea of making nature against the law seem to you a bit... unnatural? You know what I mean? It's nature. How do you make nature against the fucking law?" "The world is like a ride in an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question: "Is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "Hey, don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride." And we kill those people." "It's just a ride and we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money, a choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your door, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one." "Go back to bed, America, your government has figured out how it all transpired. Go back to bed America, your goverment is in control. Here, here's American Gladiators. Watch this, shut up, go back to bed America, here is American Gladiators, here is 56 channels of it! Watch these pituitary retards bang their fucking skulls together and congratulate you on the living in the land of freedom. Here you go America - you are free to do what well tell you! You are free to do what we tell you!" Other Quotes "We must know where we came from to know where we are going." "Since the one thing we can say about fundamental matter is, that it is vibrating. And since all vibrations are theoretically sound, then it is not unreasonable to suggest that the universe is music and should be perceived as such." "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools talk because they have to say something." "Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young." "We are not human beings on a spiritual journey. We are spiritual beings on a human journey." "Doctors pour drugs of which they know little, to cure diseases of which they know less, into human beings of which they know nothing." "Our sun is one of 100 billion stars in our galaxy. Our galaxy is one of billions of galaxies populating the universe. It would be the height of presumption to think that we are the only living things in that enormous immensity." "When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute—and it's longer than any hour. That's relativity." 'The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.' - Albert Einstein "Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart…. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes." "Minds are like parachutes - they only function when open." "An intimate relationship does not banish loneliness. Only when we are comfortable with who we are and can function independently in a healthy way, can we truly function within a relationship. Two halves do not make a whole when it comes to a healthy relationship: it takes two wholes." "An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind." "Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment." "All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, it will not change you. Blame keeps the focus off you when you're looking for reasons to explain your unhappiness or frustration. You may succeed in making another feel guilty, but you won't change whatever it is about you that is making you unhappy." "Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness." "Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction." "Live as if your were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever." "It isn't what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about." "The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery. There comes a leap in consciousness, call it intuition or what you will, and the solution comes to you, and you don't know how or why." "Here is the test to find whether your mission on earth is finished. If you're alive, it isn't." "Ask a question and you're a fool for three minutes; do not ask a question and you're a fool for the rest of your life." "When all the trees have been cut down, When all the animals have been hunted, When all the waters are polluted, When all the air is unsafe to breathe, Only then will you discover you cannot eat money." |
