Kurt Vonnegut
Time is liquid. One moment is no more important than any other and all moments quickly run away.
Kurt Vonnegut
Music makes practically everybody fonder of life than he or she would be without it.
Kurt Vonnegut
Americans... are forever searching for love in forms it never takes, in places it can never be. It must have something to do with the vanished frontier.
Kurt Vonnegut
The city was blacked out because bombers might come, so Billy didn't get to see Dresden do one of the most cheerful things a city can do when the sun goes down, which is to wink its lights on one by one.
Kurt Vonnegut
Well here you are, there it is, THIS is what it's all about.
Kurt Vonnegut
I was a victim of a series of accidents, as are we all.
Kurt Vonnegut
