Kurt Vonnegut
They tell him that there is no why, since the moment simply is and since all of them are trapped in the moment, like bugs in amber.
Kurt Vonnegut

Kurt Vonnegut

Kurt Vonnegut
You can't just eat good food. You've got to talk about it too.
Kurt Vonnegut
Human beings will be happier - not when they cure cancer or get to Mars or eliminate racial prejudice or flush Lake Erie but when they find ways to inhabit primitive communities again. That's my utopia.
Kurt Vonnegut
The moral of the story is we're here on Earth to fart around. And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And, what the computer people don't realize, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around.
Kurt Vonnegut
Practice any art, music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction, essays, reportage, no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what's inside you, to make your soul grow.
Kurt Vonnegut
I am better now. Word of honour: I am better now.
Kurt Vonnegut
My God, the religious right will not acknowledge what a merciful person Jesus was.
Kurt Vonnegut
My god-life! who can understand eve one little minute of it? 'don't try' he said 'just pretend you understand.
Kurt Vonnegut
Artists are useful to society because they are so sensitive. They are supersensitive. They keel over like canaries in coal mines filled with poison gas, long before more robust types realize that any danger is there.
