More quotes by Kurt Vonnegut
Take it from somebody who has been around for a million years: When you get right down to it, food is practically the whole story every time.
Kurt Vonnegut
Humanists try to behave decently and honorably without any expectation of rewards or punishments in an afterlife. The creator of the universe has been unknown to us so far. We serve as well as we can to the highest abstraction of which we have some understanding, which is our community.
Kurt Vonnegut
Jokes have to be quite naked to be understood. They have to be quite simple.
Kurt Vonnegut
The paintings by dead men who were poor most of their lives are the most valuable pieces in my collection. And if an artist wants to really jack up the prices of his creations, may I suggest this: suicide.
Kurt Vonnegut
All people are insane. They will do anything at any time, and God help anybody who looks for reasons.
Kurt Vonnegut
I'd rather have written Cheers than anything I've written.
Kurt Vonnegut
Trust a crowd to look at the wrong end of a miracle every time.
Kurt Vonnegut
George Bush and his gang imagine they are being political geniuses.
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.
Kurt Vonnegut
Every character should want something, even if it is only a glass of water.
Kurt Vonnegut
There is nothing intelligent to say about a massacre.
Kurt Vonnegut
I urge you to please notice when you are happy.
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
Alcohol and marijuana, if used in moderation, plus loud, usually low-class music, make stress and boredom infinitely more bearable.
Kurt Vonnegut
Any man who would change the World in a significant way must have showmanship, a genial willingness to shed other people's blood, and a plausible new religion to introduce during the brief period of repentance and horror that usually follows bloodshed.
Kurt Vonnegut
The feeling about a soldier is, when all is said and done, he wasn't really going to do very much with his life anyway. The example usually is: he wasn't going to compose Beethoven's Fifth.
Kurt Vonnegut
What war has always been is a puberty ceremony. It's a very rough one, but you went away a boy and came back a man, maybe with an eye missing or whatever but godammit you were a man and people had to call you a man thereafter.
Kurt Vonnegut
Man is vile, and man makes nothing worth making, knows nothing worth knowing.
Kurt Vonnegut
The biggest laughs are based on the biggest disappointments and the biggest fears.
