Communism is like one big phone company.
Miami Beach is where neon goes to die.
There are never enough I Love You's.
Every day people are straying away from the church and going back to God.
When you're eight years old nothing is your business.
Lenny Bruce Comedian

Leonard Alfred Schneider, better known by his stage name Lenny Bruce, was an American stand-up comedian, social critic and satirist.
He was renowned for his open, free-style and critical form of comedy which integrated satire, politics, religion, sex, and vulgarity. His 1964 conviction in an obscenity trial was followed by a posthumous pardon, the first in New York State history, by then-Governor George Pataki in 2003. He paved the way for future outspoken counterculture-era comedians, and his trial for obscenity is seen as a landmark for freedom of speech in the United States.
