Kurt Vonnegut
Since Alice had never received any religious instruction, and since she had led a blameless life, she never thought of her awful luck as being anything but accidents in a very busy place. Good for her.
Kurt Vonnegut
Thank God for novelists. Thank God there are people willing to write everything down. Otherwise, so much would be forgotten.

Kurt Vonnegut
A lot of people were opposed to it. A lot of people were for it. I myself think about it as little as possible.
Kurt Vonnegut
Incidentally, I am honorary president of the American Humanist Association, having succeeded the great science fiction writer and biochemist Dr. Isaac Asimov. John Updike, who is religious, says I talk more about God than any seminarian. Socialism is, in fact, a form of Christianity, people wishing to imitate Christ.
Kurt Vonnegut
egregious. most people think that word means terrible or unheard of or unforgivable. it has a much more interesting story than that to tell. it means outside the herd. imagine that - thousands of people, outside the herd.
Kurt Vonnegut
Belief is nearly the whole of the universe whether based on truth or not.
Kurt Vonnegut
In real life as in grand opera, arias only make hopeless situations worse.
Kurt Vonnegut
You don't do art for any other reason than to help your soul grow.
Kurt Vonnegut
We are here on Earth to fart around. Don't let anybody tell you any different.
Kurt Vonnegut
Our classes were relatively small. Those small classes can feel like family. After a class in French or chemistry or whatever, we'd be talking in the halls about what we just learned.
Kurt Vonnegut
Science never cheered up anyone. The truth about the human situation is just too awful.
