Lenny Bruce was a legendary stand-up comedian and satirist. He was a pioneer in the industry and influenced countless comedians that followed him. Lenny also became well-known for his use of profanity during his acts, as well as his ramblings on a variety of themes that would become staples in his career, among them: politics, religion, freedom of speech, race, drugs and even his own troubles with the law.
Here are some of his most famous quotes...
“The kind of sickness I wish Time had written about, is that school teachers in Oklahoma get a top annual salary of $4000, while Sammy Davis, Jr. gets $10,000 a week in Vegas.”
“All my humor is based upon destruction and despair. If the whole world were tranquil, without disease and violence, I’d be standing on the breadline right in back of J. Edgar Hoover.”
“Communism is like one big phone company.”
“Every day people are straying away from the church and going back to God."
"In the Halls of Justice the only justice is in the halls."
