About belief or lack of belief in an afterlife: Some of you may know that I am neither Christian nor Jewish nor Buddist, nor a conventionally religious person of any sort. I am a humanist, which mean, in part, that I have tried to behave decently without any expectation of rewards or punishments after I'm dead.
Kurt Vonnegut

Kurt Vonnegut
Another flaw in the human character is that everybody wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance.
Kurt Vonnegut
They like life alright, but that they would like it even better if they could know that it was going to end sometime.
Kurt Vonnegut

Kurt Vonnegut
In an unmoored life like mine, sleep and hunger and work arrange themselves to suit themselves, without consulting me.
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
I don't reveal to her that I love her. I keep poker faced. She might as well be looking at a cantaloupe, there is so little information in my face, but my heart is beating.
Kurt Vonnegut
That's one thing Earthlings might learn to do, if they tried hard enough: Ignore the awful times and concentrate on the good ones.
Kurt Vonnegut
All people are insane. They will do anything at any time, and God help anybody who looks for reasons.
Kurt Vonnegut
Anything can make me stop and look and wonder, and sometimes learn.
Kurt Vonnegut
What should young people do with their lives today? Many things, obviously. But the most daring thing is to create stable communities in which the terrible disease of loneliness can be cured.
