Kurt Vonnegut
All moments, past, present and future, always have existed, always will exist.
Kurt Vonnegut
When I write, I feel like an armless, legless man with a crayon in his mouth.
Kurt Vonnegut
It is always pitiful when any human being falls into a condition hardly more respectable than that of an animal. How much more pitiful it is when the person who falls has had all the advantages!
Kurt Vonnegut
Men are jerks. Women are psychotic.
Kurt Vonnegut
Seems like the only kind of job an American can get these days is committing suicide in some way.
Kurt Vonnegut
The nicest veterans in Schenectady, I thought, the kindest and funniest ones, the ones who hated war the most, were the ones who'd really fought.
Kurt Vonnegut
Nietzsche had a little one-liner on how to choose a wife. He said, ''Are you willing to have a conversation with this woman for the next forty years?'' That's how to pick a wife.
