George Carlin

George Carlin died yesterday. A discussion of Carlin's death and works on the CBC this evening introduced me to this quote, that was part of Carlin's Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television routine:

  • “We have thoughts, but thoughts are fluid. You know, [humming]. And, then we assign a word to a thought, [clicks tongue]. And we’re stuck with that word for that thought. So be careful with words. I like to think, yeah, the same words that hurt can heal. It’s a matter of how you pick them.”

I really like the quote, its a good thought expressed with good words.
