Kurt Vonnegut
Educating a beautiful woman is like pouring honey into a fine Swiss watch: everything stops.
Kurt Vonnegut

Kurt Vonnegut
Human beings are about 1,000 times dumber and meaner than they think they are.
Kurt Vonnegut
One thing I hate about school committees today is that they cut arts programs out of the curriculum because they say the arts aren't a way to make a living.
Kurt Vonnegut

Kurt Vonnegut
How embarrassing it is to be human.
Kurt Vonnegut
I was a victim of a series of accidents, as are we all.
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
People would be surprised if they knew how much in this world was due to prayers.
Kurt Vonnegut
See the cat? See the cradle?
Kurt Vonnegut
Dear future generations: Please accept our apologies. We were rolling drunk on petroleum.
