More from Bill Hicks
If we might be able to save this world, how can we walk away? Too many people around here have given up! Galloran said heroes sacrifice for causes; they do things that others hide from. I may not be some great hero, but I won’t hide from this. I would never live with myself.
Brandon MullBrandon Mull Seeing ahead is fun. But pushing is very hard work.
Bonnie PruddenBonnie Prudden Folks, it’s time to evolve. That’s why we’re troubled. You know why our institutions are failing us, the church, the state, everything’s failing? It’s because, um – they’re no longer relevant. We’re supposed to keep evolving. Evolution did not end with us growing opposable thumbs. You do know that, right?
Bill HicksBill Hicks Oh my God. Lift me up out of this illusion, Lord. Heal my perception that I might know only reality and only you.

Birgitta JonsdottirBirgitta Jonsdottir People say to me, Hey, Bill, the war made us feel better about ourselves. Really? What kind of people are these with such low self-esteem that they need a war to feel better about themselves?
Bill HicksBill Hicks I’m very tired of staring out into your vacant faces looking back at me. Wanting to fill your empty lives with humor you couldn’t possibly think of yourself… Good evening!
Bill HicksBill Hicks Caffeine from Monday to Friday to energize you enough to make you a productive member of society, and alcohol from Friday to Monday to keep you too stupid to figure out the prison that you are living in.
Bill HicksBill Hicks The war on drugs to me is absolutely phoney, its so obviously phoney, ok? It’s a war against our civil rights, that’s all it is. They’re using it to make us afraid to go out at night, afraid of each other, so that we lock ourselves in our homes and they get suspending our rights one by one.
Bill HicksBill Hicks 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 HicksBill Hicks I’m sorry if any of you are Catholic. I’m not sorry if you’re offended, I’m actually just sorry by the fact that you’re Catholic.
Bill HicksBill Hicks BTW A 24 week old embryo is not a human being. You’re not a human being until you’re in my phone book.
Bill HicksBill Hicks My point was that removing Saddam should not have been our highest priority. Fighting terrorism should have been our number one concern, followed by the Palestinian peace process.
Brent ScowcroftBrent Scowcroft Now I wonder why we’re f-ked up as a race. I’ve read the Bible. I can’t find the word “bunny” or “chocolate” anywhere in the f-king book.

Bill HicksBill Hicks For far too long the American public and business sector have kept their silence as civil liberties have been whittled away by statutory and regulatory measures.
