More quotes by Kurt Vonnegut
God damn it, you've got to be kind.
Kurt Vonnegut
People are only animals, but special animals. Every animal has fought and killed to survive, even before the dinosaurs. We're the only ones that do it for fun. That's why I don't know about Darwinism. Supposedly evolution and natural selection are all about survival, but we haven't gotten smarter over the years, only more dangerous.
Kurt Vonnegut
They do not love one another because they do not love themselves.
Kurt Vonnegut
If people insist on living as if there's no tomorrow, there really won't be one.

Here's what I think the truth is: We are all addicts of fossil fuels in a state of denial, about to face cold turkey.
Kurt Vonnegut
I pity the Jews trying to get through life with only half a Bible. That's like trying to get from here to San Francisco with a road map that stops at Dubuque, Iowa.
Kurt Vonnegut
Dear future generations: Please accept our apologies. We were rolling drunk on petroleum.
Kurt Vonnegut
The arts are not a way to make a living.
Kurt Vonnegut
If I should ever die, God forbid, I hope you will say, 'Kurt is up in heaven now.' That's my favorite joke.
Kurt Vonnegut
The two prime movers in the Universe are Time and Luck.
Kurt Vonnegut
After that demonstration everybody was thinking, what's going to happen to these wonderful men who have been so useful to us? We have to give people something to do with life.
Kurt Vonnegut
Laughter or crying is what a human being does when there's nothing else he can do.
Kurt Vonnegut
...Skyscraper National Park
Kurt Vonnegut
I do feel that evolution is being controlled by some sort of divine engineer. I can't help thinking that. And this engineer knows exactly what he or she is doing and why, and where evolution is headed. That's why we've got giraffes and hippopotami and the clap.
