Bill Hicks (December 16, 1961—February 26, 1994)

"Life's like a ride in an amusement park, and when you go on it you think it's real, because that's how powerful our minds are, and the ride goes up, down, and around and around and it has thrills and chills, and it's very brightly colored. It's very loud, and it's fun for a while, and some have been on the ride for a long time, and they begin to question is this real, or is this just a ride? And some people have remembered,
and they come back to us and they say, “Hey – don’t worry, don’t be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride… And we… kill those people."

“We have a lot invested in this ride. Shut him up. Look at my furrows of worry. Look at my big bank account and my family. This just has to be real.” Just a ride. But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok. But it doesn’t matter because: It’s just a ride. And we can change it anytime we want. It’s only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money. A choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one. Here’s what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money that we spend on weapons and defences each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.”
