Famous quotes by Kurt Vonnegut:

"One of the few good things about modern times: If you die horribly on television, you will not have died in vain. You will have entertained us."

"Still and all, why bother? Here's my answer. 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."

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

"I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don't let anybody tell you different."

"Be careful what you pretend to be because you are what you pretend to be."

"People have to talk about something just to keep their voice boxes in working order so they'll have good voice boxes in case there's ever anything really meaningful to say."

"Vietnam was an exercise in mistaken idealism; Iraq in cynical money-making. And there's no optimism or idealism now -- Americans are tired of knowledge. Our leaders, the C-students from Yale, know this. We're proud of being ignorant; that leaves virtue at our core. We aren't frazzled by knowledge like foreigners, so we can be trusted."

"Here we are, trapped in the amber of the moment. There is no why."

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

"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."

"What should young people do with their lives today? Many things, obviously. But the most daring thing is to create stable communities in which the terrible disease of loneliness can be cured."

"If you can do a half-assed job of anything, you're a one-eyed man in a kingdom of the blind."

"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."

"About astrology and palmistry: they are good because they make people vivid and full of possibilities. They are communism at its best. Everybody has a birthday and almost everybody has a palm."

"Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward."

"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?"

"Call me Jonah. My parents did, or nearly did. They called me John."

"I was taught that the human brain was the crowning glory of evolution so far, but I think it's a very poor scheme for survival."

"Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before."
