Kurt Vonnegut
Only nut cases want to be president. This was true even in high school. Only clearly disturbed people ran for class president.
Kurt Vonnegut
Everyone now knows how to find the meaning of life within himself.
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
In this world, you get what you pay for.
Kurt Vonnegut
Anybody with any sense knows the whole solar system will go up like a celluloid collar by-and-by.
Kurt Vonnegut
I'm mad about being old and I'm mad about being American. Apart from that, OK.
Kurt Vonnegut
Unhappy failures need not apply.
Kurt Vonnegut
After that demonstration everybody was thinking, what's going to happen to these wonderful men who have been so useful to us? We have to give people something to do with life.
Kurt Vonnegut
And we all vied, in saving face, to be the greatest student of human nature, the person with the quickest sense of humor.
