The two real political parties in America are the Winners and the Losers.
Kurt Vonnegut
I was hoping to build a country and add to its literature. That's why I served in World War II, and that's why I wrote books.

Don't worry about your father. He's a perfectly contented, self-sufficient zombie.
Kurt Vonnegut
During the Vietnam War, Abbie Hoffman announced that the new high was banana peels taken rectally. So then FBI scientists stuffed banana peels up their asses to find out if this was true or not.
