More quotes by Kurt Vonnegut
I just don't think people get off on language anymore. Language used to be an elevated art. It used to be for people what music can be.

Kurt Vonnegut
I am better now. Word of honour: I am better now.
Kurt Vonnegut
Our government's got a war on drugs. That's certainly better than no drugs at all.

Human beings are about 1,000 times dumber and meaner than they think they are.
Kurt Vonnegut
Never take liquor into the bedroom. Don't stick anything in your ears. Be anything but an architect. Live in a nice country rather than a powerful one. Power makes everybody crazy. Get somebody to teach you to play a musical instrument.
Kurt Vonnegut
