Never have I risked my life, or even my comfort, in the service of mankind. Shame on me.
Kurt Vonnegut
Jokes can be noble. Laughs are exactly as honorable as tears. Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion, to the futility of thinking and striving anymore. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward - and since I can start thinking and striving again that much sooner.

Kurt Vonnegut
Anyway -- because we are readers, we don't have to wait for some communications executive to decide what we should think about next -- and how we should think about it. We can fill our heads with anything from aardvarks to zucchinis -- at any time of night or day.
Kurt Vonnegut
Hitler at the end thought that he himself was one more casualty in the war.
Kurt Vonnegut
The only proof he needed for the existance of God was music.
Kurt Vonnegut
The only way to get anything out of a writer's brains is to leave him or her alone until he or she is damn well ready to write it down.
Kurt Vonnegut
Future generations will look back on TV as the lead in the water pipes that slowly drove the Romans mad.

Kurt Vonnegut
Americans... are forever searching for love in forms it never takes, in places it can never be. It must have something to do with the vanished frontier.
Kurt Vonnegut
Music makes practically everybody fonder of life than he or she would be without it.
Kurt Vonnegut
I had a friend who was a heavy drinker. If somebody asked him if he'd been drunk the night before, he would always answer offhandedly, 'Oh, I imagine.' I've always liked that answer. It acknowledges life as a dream.

George Bush and his gang imagine they are being political geniuses.
