Kurt Vonnegut Dead

Kurt Vonnegut Dead

So it goes.

Some selected quotes:

All this happened, more or less. The war parts, anyway, are pretty much true.

I really wonder what gives us the right to wreck this poor planet of ours.

I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all the kinds of things you can't see from the center.

People don't come to church for preachments, of course, but to daydream about God.

This is a tale of a meeting of two lonesome, skinny, fairly old white men on a planet which was dying fast.

True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country.

Who is more to be pitied, a writer bound and gagged by policemen or one living in perfect freedom who has nothing more to say?


R.I.P
