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
I am a monopolar depressive descended from monopolar depressives. That's how come I write so good.
Kurt Vonnegut
Never have I risked my life, or even my comfort, in the service of mankind. Shame on me.
Kurt Vonnegut
It was very exciting for her, taking his dignity away in the name of love.
