George Carlin Quotes About Art

Quotes about: Art

• Self-expression is a hallmark of an artist, of art, to get something off one's chest, to sing one's song. So that element is present in all art.

• This is a lttle prayer dedicated to the separation of church and state.

Crown thy good into temptation but deliver us from the twilight's last gleaming. Amen and Awomen.

  George Carlin (1998). “Brain Droppings”, Hyperion

• I am not a difficult man by any stretch, and I'm saying that with a full and honest inventory going on. I'm not. And I'm not angry on stage. There is a heightening. There is an intensification of the feelings on stage in order to let them carry the room. There is a theatricality about it. The whole thing is oratory, so there's persuasion involved. There's the art of rhetoric involved. And so, with hyperbole and with the desire to really punch the thing home, some of it reads a little more angry.

• What I became a comedian for was to get my art out. To get some of these feelings and things I had on my chest out.

I'm the same kid from sixth grade who stood up and said "watch this."
