"Santa Claus wears a Red Suit, he must be a communist. And a beard and long hair, must be a pacifist. What's in that pipe that he's smoking?"
"Ostrich is a very lean meat. Bison is a very lean meat. Chicken is a very lean meat. Notice something about my favorite meats?"

"We live in an increasingly sophisticated world that makes it difficult to make simple comments on stuff. There are too many people on both sides of the border who are taking advantage of circumstances and the situation."
"Everyone has a responsibility to not only tolerate another person's point of view, but also to accept it eagerly as a challenge to your own understanding. And express those challenges in terms of serving other people."
"Songs are like fish. You just gotta have your line in the water. And it's a bad idea to fish downstream from Bob Dylan."
"Everyone has troubles. Finding yourself in the same boat with everyone else is the first sign of spirituality."
"You can't have a light without a dark to stick it in."
