Steven Wright: Comedian, philosopher


Sometimes, I just need to slow down, breathe and get a bit of perspective.

Confucius, Plato, Churchill, Musashi and others are part of our rich heritage.

And in his own wright ...



“Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.”

“If at first you don't succeed then skydiving definitely isn't for you.”

“When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.”

“I wish, when I was first born, the first thing I said was "Quote" so the last thing I said before I died would be "Unquote.”

My doctor told me I shouldn't work out until I'm in better shape. I told him, 'All right; don't send me a bill until I pay you.'

I was traveling to Canada and when I got to the border they asked if I had any firearms. I said “What do you need?”

I went down the street to the 24-hour grocery. When I got there, the guy was locking the front door. I said, "Hey, the sign says you're open 24 hours." He said, "Yes, but not in a row."

I've never seen electricity, so I don't pay for it. I write right on the bill, "I'm sorry, I haven't seen it all month."

One time a cop pulled me over for running a stop sign. He said, "Didn't you see the stop sign?" I said, "Yeah, but I don't believe everything I read."

Way back in college at VA Tech, late 80s or early 90s, my soon to be ex-fiancé and I were walking across campus to see him live. We walked along one seldom-used side of the building and he pops out a side door and asks if I had a light. I did not as neither of us smoked. Missed opportunity to chat with a comedy legend.
