What Should Be Quotes

“The truth is 'what is.' If 'what is' is, you have to sleep eight, ten hours a day, that is the truth. A lie will be: People need no sleep at all. Truth is 'what is.' If every politician from the beginning is crooked, there is no crooked. But if you are concerned with a lie, 'what should be'-and 'what should be' is a fantasy, a terrible, terrible lie that someone gave the people long ago: This is what should be-and no one ever saw what should be, that you don't need any sleep and you can go seven years without sleep, so that all the people were made to measure up to that dirty lie. You know there's no crooked politicians. There's never a lie because there is never a truth.”
― Lenny Bruce, How to Talk Dirty and Influence People

“When you are captive between what is real and what should be, attempt an escape to real; should be is a mirage that does not exist.”
― RJ Intindola – (Gandolfo) – 1995
