Quote by Lenny Bruce

“I guess what happens is, if you get arrested in Town A (Philadelphia) and then Town B (San Francisco)-with a lot of publicity-then when you get to Town C they have to arrest you or what kind of shithouse town are they running? It's a pattern of unintentional harassment.”

“Since I didn’t like the law or the consequences for breaking it, I lived in denial of it. But pretending as if it weren’t there did not make it disappear. So, I retaliated against those who represented it. If I couldn't divert the consequences, I diverted the blame. I blamed the police for my consequences. I blamed them for “ruining my life.” I blamed them for my arrests. I refused to accept that it was my fault for breaking the law in the first place. Blaming others allowed me to keep believing whatever I wanted and acting however I wanted.”

“Walaupun orang Yahudi yang berpengaruh tidak mengamalkan agama Yahudi, malah, seperti Einstein, mungkin menolak agama itu sama sekali, namun kesetiaan kepada nasib dan masa hadapan bangsa Yahudi amat mendalam. Mereka mempunyai tradisi ilmu yang lama, berpunca dari kitab Taurat dan tulisan Rabbi dan cendekiawan mereka. Mereka menghayati apa yang disebut oleh Eban sebagai "satu keghairahan mencari makna" (passion for meaning) yang telah membuat mereka berusaha mengharungi segala kesusahan sepanjang sejarah.”
