15 George Carlin Quotes-- Part 3: On Finding Happiness Through Possessions

9.  ON TEACHING YOUR CHILDREN:  "Don't just teach your children to read.  Teach them to question what they read.  Teach them to question everything."

10.   ON THE HOLLOWNESS OF MODERN LIFE:  "We have multiplied our possessions but reduced our values.  We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate to often.  We've learned how to make a living but not a life.  We've added years to life, not life to years."

11.  ON FINDING HAPPINESS THROUGH POSSESSIONS:  "Trying to be happy by accumulating possessions is like trying to satisfy hunger by taping sandwiches all over your body."

12.  ON THE AMERICAN DREAM:  "That's why they call it the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it."
