Lenny Bruce:
l am *totally* corrupt. l mean, really! My whole act. My whole economic success, whatever that is, is based *solely* on the existence of segregation, violence, despair, disease and injustice. And if, by some miracle, the whole world were suddenly tranquil, pure, l'd be standing on an unemployment line somewhere. So you see, l'm not a moralist. lf l were, l'd be donating my salary to those schoolteachers. Right?
