“The impulse to laugh at healthy people who nonetheless fall down is by no means universal, however, was brought to my attention unpleasantly at a performance of Swan Lake by the Royal Ballet in London, England. I was in the audience with my daughter Nanny, who was about sixteen then. She is forty-one now, in the summer of 1996. That must have been twenty-five years ago now!
A ballerina, dancing on her toes, went deedly-deedly-deedly into the wings as she was supposed to do. But then there was a sound backstage as though she had put her foot in a bucket and then gone down an iron stairway with her foot still in the bucket.
I instantly laughed like hell.
I was the only person to do so.”

“It's all right.

That's what you say about everything...no matter what is is, you say, 'It's all right.'

It usually is.”
― Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

“I feel and think as much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people don't care about them. You are not alone.”
― Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

“A lot of things went wrong.'

'Have you ever considered the possibility that everything went absolutely right?”
