A few of my favorite Allen quotes, for your enjoyment…
Peter

  • How can I believe in God when just last week I got my tongue caught in the roller of an electric typewriter?
  • How is it possible to find meaning in a finite world, given my waist and shirt size?
  • I don’t want to achieve immortality through my work… I want to achieve it through not dying.
  • If it turns out that there is a God, I don’t think that he’s evil. But the worst that you can say about him is that basically he’s an underachiever.
  • It seemed the world was divided into good and bad people. The good ones slept better… while the bad ones seemed to enjoy the waking hours much more.
  • Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering – and it’s all over much too soon.
  • To you I’m an atheist; to God, I’m the Loyal Opposition.
  • What if everything is an illusion and nothing exists? In that case, I definitely overpaid for my carpet.

We need to rediscover the beauty of kindness in disagreement and friendship in the midst of polarized views. We need to remember that even the important questions are fun.
