Lewis Black Quotes

On Yom Kippur The rabbi intones that today is the day that God will put your name in the Book of Life... or the Book of DEATH. I'm five, and I'm going, 'Uhhh, what the fuck is that? The book of WHAT?!?' Death? Death was not anything that had ever occurred to me. My greatest fear was that my parents were going to leave me in a grocery store.
