Multiple friends happened to be reading this Vonnegut novel, so I thought I'd pick it up again. Have read it maybe eight times over the years, but this was the first time in a decade or so. And . . . it's less delightful than I remembered. Still extr ...more

E.M. Forster
“There are some chaps who are no good for anything but books; I plead guilty to being such a chap. —Cecil Vyse”
― E.M. Forster, A Room with a View

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“I was a victim of a series of accidents, as are we all.”
― Kurt Vonnegut, The Sirens of Titan

Richard P. Feynman
“It doesn't seem to me that this fantastically marvelous universe, this tremendous range of time and space and different kinds of animals, and all the different planets, and all these atoms with all their motions, and so on, all this complicated thing can merely be a stage so that God can watch human beings struggle for good and evil - which is the view that religion has.

― Richard P. Feynman
