We now buy watches primarily for their looks, price, or additional functions. The fact that they tell time seems lost.
George CarlinSomeone said, and rightfully, that "property is theft'." There's no way a man can stand and tell me that he owns an apple tree. I just don't believe you. And so this pursuit of position and money and power, they are all wrapped up into one package that I think is crippling, debilitating and limiting. And unfortunately, people get sucked into it and then they've got you on the treadmill. You know: ''You've got to have a good job'' and "You've got to have a good education'' - which is another word for indoctrination. We're never going to rise above these limitations we've placed on ourselves.
George CarlinThat's why they call it the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it.
