Quote by Lenny Bruce

A lot of people say to me, Why did you kill Christ? I dunno... it was one of those parties, got out of hand, you know. We killed him because he didn't want to become a doctor, that's why we killed him.

A lot of people say to me, Why did you kill Christ? I dunno.

Summary

This quote appears to be sarcastic and humorous, using irony to mock the irrational blame placed on specific groups of people for the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The speaker's response suggests that the accusation is absurd, implying that killing Jesus was a result of an outrageous, far-fetched reason - in this case, his lack of interest in pursuing a medical profession. Ultimately, the quote aims to highlight the futility and irrationality of blaming certain individuals or groups for an event that occurred thousands of years ago.

Our attitude toward our own culture has recently been charac

Our attitude toward our own culture has recently been characterized by two qualities, braggadocio and petulance. Braggadocio -- empty boasting of American power, American virtue, American know-how -- has dominated our foreign relations now for some decades. Here at home -- within the family, so to speak -- our attitude to our culture expresses a superficially different spirit, the spirit of petulance. Never before, perhaps, has a culture been so fragmented into groups, each full of its own virtue, each annoyed and irritated at the others.
