Friends who love Garry, working with his estate, are opening up Garry’s twitter. We will occasionally tweet material from the writings, notes and journals he has left us: “Let life live through you. Presence. Compassion. Kindness.”

Everything that has happened in the past has brought you to this single moment. How miraculous is that? Everything from the time you were born, and before, is in this single untimeable moment.

I learned to drive on my dad's lap. I'd sit on his lap and he'd work the brakes and I'd work the wheel. Then I took the exam and sat on the Examiner. I failed the test, but he still writes to me.

Why doesn't the NRA get behind allowing Iran to have a nuclear weapon? Because, nuclear weapons don't kill people. People kill people.

Yeah, my dog died, so I took his ashes back to Hawaii. And I got drunk and I threw his ashes in the kid's pool by mistake. The next day I realized it, but I thought, you know, he always liked to play with the kids. He's going to be happy.

I don't ever think about having sex with my dog. But sometimes I think he thinks about it, because he'll be licking himself and he'll stop for a second and look right at me, and then go back to licking himself. Maybe I'm staring at him too long.

I have a dog that I adopted, but I didn’t know when to break it to him that he was adopted. So I waited a few months and asked, have you noticed that we don’t look alike? You have a tail and I don’t. You have a big nose and well . . . Then he ran away to find his real parents.

I took a couple of years off. I made a mistake because I realized you only exist if you’re on TV. And even God goes, “Hey, hey, I can’t help you. I haven’t seen you. I‘ve been flipping around. I can’t help you.”

I read that a guy had a heartattack while making love. This intimidated me, that a guy could be so into it that he had a heartattack. One time I got a cramp in my arch. That's it. I yelled, "Hold it" and grabbed my foot. It's just not romantic to hear a woman say, "Walk it off."

I was funny in school, but not the class clown. Class clowns are people who make a farting sound at just the right time when the teacher bends over. I was the guy who would lean over to someone when the teacher bent over and mumble, “Nice ass, huh?” That’s the difference.

George Carlin’s position was actually what is a healthy existential position, which is seeing the world as absurd.  A crazy position is that you cannot see the absurdity, you see these crazy things and get involved with them in an angry, choosing side oriented way.
