George Carlin Quotes About Giving Up

Quotes about: Giving Up

• The larger the group, the more toxic, the more of your beauty as an individual you have to surrender for the sake of group thought. And when you suspend your individual beauty you also give up a lot of your humanity. You will do things in the name of a group that you would never do on your own. Injuring, hurting, killing, drinking are all part of it, because you've lost your identity, because you now owe your allegiance to this thing that's bigger than you are and that controls you.

• Abraham Maslow said that the fully realized person transcends his local group and identifies with the species.

More than absurd, it was frightening: it represented the rise to supremacy of darkness, the ascendancy of ignorance.
