The other American divisions on our flanks managed to pull out: We were obliged to stay and fight. Bayonets aren't much good against tanks.
Kurt Vonnegut
The truth is, we know so little about life, we don't really know what the good news is and what the bad news is.
Kurt Vonnegut
We're doomed to repeat the past no matter what. That's what it is to be alive. It's pretty dense kids who haven't figured that out by the time they're ten.... Most kids can't afford to go to Harvard and be misinformed.
Kurt Vonnegut
It's the writer's job to stage confrontations, so the characters will say surprising and revealing things, and educate and entertain us all.
Kurt Vonnegut
Some automatic device clicked in her big brain, and her knees felt weak, and there was a chilly feeling in her stomach. She was in love with this man. They don't make memories like that anymore

Kurt Vonnegut
Time is liquid. One moment is no more important than any other and all moments quickly run away.
Kurt Vonnegut
Unusual travel suggestions are dancing lessons from God.
Kurt Vonnegut
The function of the artist is to make people like life better than they have before.
Kurt Vonnegut
You don't do art for any other reason than to help your soul grow.
Kurt Vonnegut
The most damning revelation you can make about yourself is that you do not know what is interesting and what is not.
Kurt Vonnegut
If I should ever die, God forbid, let this be my epitaph: THE ONLY PROOF HE NEEDED FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD WAS MUSIC
Kurt Vonnegut
But by accident, not by cunning calculation, books, because of their weight and texture, and because of their sweetly token resistance to manipulation, involve our hands and eyes, and then our minds and souls, in a spiritual adventure I would be very sorry for my grandchildren not to know about.
Kurt Vonnegut
Shortridge High School was an elitist high school. In a way it was a scandal because you could go there no matter where you lived, if you could get there. It was for over-achievers. It was for people who were going to college. So we were very special and we were hated for being ritzy.
Kurt Vonnegut
The two real political parties in America are the Winners and the Losers.
Kurt Vonnegut
Why throw money at problems? That is what money is for. Should the nation's wealth be redistributed? It has been and continues to be redistributed to a few people in a manner strikingly unhelpful.
Kurt Vonnegut
I wish you'd help me look into a more interesting problem - namely, my sanity.
Kurt Vonnegut
