Bill HicksBill Hicks I don’t get along with anything, I really don’t…I’m, I’m, maybe I’m just a, you know, incredibly tasteful human being.
Bill HicksBill Hicks This is where we are at right now, as a whole. No one is left out of the loop. We are experiencing a reality based on a thin veneer of lies and illusions.
Bill HicksBill Hicks I’m an American who loves an America which doesn’t exist, which is a land of freedom and free ideas.
Bill HicksBill Hicks We really are All One….this is the very philosophy that has kept me virtually anonymous in America for fifteen years.
