You become who you pretend to be.
Kurt Vonnegut
I am beguiled by your physical beauty, and I am moved by how head-over-heels in love with books you are. And nowhere else have I found such thoughtful and literate reportage on the state of the American soul, as that soul makes itself known in the books we write.

Kurt Vonnegut
The Summer had died peacefully in its sleep, and Autumn, as soft-spoken executrix, was locking life up safely until Spring came to claim it.
Kurt Vonnegut
People have to talk about something just to keep their voice boxes in working order so they'll have good voice boxes in case there's ever anything really meaningful to say.
Kurt Vonnegut
Most kids can't afford to go to Harvard to be misinformed.
Kurt Vonnegut
If you would be unloved and forgotten, be reasonable.
Kurt Vonnegut
When the last living thing Has died on account of us, How poetical it would be If Earth could say, In a voice floating up Perhaps From the floor Of the Grand Canyon, It is done. People did not like it here.
Kurt Vonnegut
Laughter or crying is what a human being does when there's nothing else he can do.
Kurt Vonnegut
in nonsense is strength
Kurt Vonnegut
Unusual travel suggestions are dancing lessons from God.
Kurt Vonnegut
