15 things Kurt Vonnegut said better than anyone else ever has or will
>"I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, 'if this isn't nice, I don't know what is.'"
>"Peculiar travel suggestions are dancing lessons from God."
>"Tiger got to hunt, Bird got to fly; Man got to sit around and wonder, 'Why, Why, Why?'. Tiger got to sleep, Bird got to land; Man got to tell himself he understand."
>"There's only one rule that I know of, babies - God damn it, you've got to be kind."
>"She was a fool, and so am I, and so is anyone who thinks he sees what God is doing."
>"Many people need desperately to receive this message: 'I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone."
>"There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty hates with you, too."
>"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."
>"That is my principal objection to life, I think; It's too easy, when alive, to make perfectly horrible mistakes."
>"Literature should not disappear up its own asshole, so to speak."
>"All persons, living and dead, are purely coincidental."
>"Why don't you take a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut? Why don't you take a flying fuck at the moooooooooooon?"
>"So it goes."
>"I have been a soreheaded occupant of a file drawer labeled 'science fiction' ever since, and I would like out, particularly since so many serious critics regularly mistake the drawer for a urinal."
>"We must be careful about what we pretend to be."
