Kurt Vonnegut
Life happens too fast for you ever to think about it. If you could just persuade people of this, but they insist on amassing information.

Kurt Vonnegut
The person who writes the bank's commercials is not the person who makes the loans.
Kurt Vonnegut

Kurt Vonnegut
What good is a planet called Earth, after all, if you own no land?
Kurt Vonnegut
Where you can see tribal behavior now is in this business about teaching evolution in a science class and intelligent design. It's the scientists themselves are behaving tribally.
Kurt Vonnegut
He did not think of himself as a writer for the simple reason that the world had never allowed him to think of himself in this way.
Kurt Vonnegut
Every writer has to write his speech.
Kurt Vonnegut
George Bush and his gang imagine they are being political geniuses.
Kurt Vonnegut
I think William Shakespeare was the wisest human being I ever heard of. To be perfectly frank, though, that's not saying much.
Kurt Vonnegut
Only in books do we learn what’s really going on.
Kurt Vonnegut
I went to New York to be born again. And when the train plunged into a tunnel under New York City, with its lining of pipes and wires, I was out of the womb and into the birth canal.
