Kurt Vonnegut
We were all gun nuts and they were called varmints, crows were, because they ate grain and so did we.
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
They like life alright, but that they would like it even better if they could know that it was going to end sometime.
