That's a funny line, especially thinking of it as regards the chaos of life vs drug addiction. But, googling it, looks like it might not be from Carlin? https://georgecarlin.net/bogus/monkey.html
I rewatched "jammin' in new york" recently. Too much of his stuff is still too relevant.
Of course I remember when I first heard Carlin, my neighbor Eugene Mosier played an album for me, (I think it was Occupation: Foole, the one where he gets notified about winning a Grammy for Class Clown during the performance.)
And later I worked at WBAI during the time F.C.C. v. Pacifica Foundation, 438 U.S. 726 (1978) was litigated and decided. Carlin did a benefit concert for Pacifica at the Beacon Theater in NYC after the SCOTUS ruling.

It sure is (relevant). I am glad he popularized this sentiment, in any case!

That is so cool! Carlin celebrating at the BEacon! What a night that must have been.
His love of and use of language was so wonderful.
Yes. What a mind, what a tongue!
