South Park seems to give us a firm dose of reality about our silent thoughts and beliefs that we would not dare say, or admit that we think.

The characters share without fear, to show us just how off-base and ridiculous things are at times.

By laying out their thoughts in the open, they are showing us how we can and should be living.

And if we accept it, there is wit and wisdom to be gained on many topics.

I hope you have enjoyed these South Park quotes as much as I enjoyed gathering them.
