I’m just trying to rid the world of all these fevered egos that are tainting our collective unconscious. — Bill Hicks

It is, and has been, and will forever be, this world of ours, a fucking joke. — Bill Hicks

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. — Bill Hicks

I smoke. If this bothers anyone, I suggest you look around at the world in which we live and shut your fuckin’ mouth. — Bill Hicks

Love rather than fear…this radical philosophy is coming from me, an avowed misanthrope…surely there is hope for us all. — Bill Hicks

Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. — Bill Hicks

Good comedy helps people know they’re not alone. Great comedy provides an answer. — Bill Hicks

It’s great to be here. I thank you. Ah, I’ve been on the road doing comedy for ten years now, so bear with me while I plaster on a fake smile and plough through this shit one more time. — Bill Hicks
