It's a terrible waste to be happy and not notice it.
Kurt Vonnegut
One might be led to suspect that there were all sorts of things going on in the Universe which he or she did not thoroughly understand.

Kurt Vonnegut
Love is where you find it.
Kurt Vonnegut
I am beguiled by your physical beauty, and I am moved by how head-over-heels in love with books you are. And nowhere else have I found such thoughtful and literate reportage on the state of the American soul, as that soul makes itself known in the books we write.
Kurt Vonnegut
Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before.
Kurt Vonnegut
We are what we pretend to be.
Kurt Vonnegut
That's what my books are, now that I'm a grownup - mosaics of jokes.
Kurt Vonnegut
Son,' my father said to me, 'someday this will all be yours.
Kurt Vonnegut
I am a very bad scientist. I will do anything to make a human being feel better, even if it's unscientific. No scientist worthy of the name could say such a thing.
Kurt Vonnegut
All of the true things I am about to tell you are shameless lies.
Kurt Vonnegut
All the great story lines are great practical jokes that people fall for over and over again.
Kurt Vonnegut
I myself feel that our country, for whose Constitution I fought in a just war, might as well have been invaded by Martians and body snatchers. Sometimes I wish it had been. What has happened, though, is that it has been taken over by means of the sleaziest, low-comedy, Keystone Cops-style coup d'etat imaginable.
Kurt Vonnegut
Future generations will look back on TV as the lead in the water pipes that slowly drove the Romans mad.
