Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“All right - I'll tell you what you did for me: you went for happy, silly, beautiful walks with me.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Bluebeard

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“The most important thing I learnt on Tralfamadore was that when a person dies he only appears to die. He is still very much alive in the past, so it is very silly for people to cry at his funeral. All moments, past, present, and future, always have existed, always will exist. The Tralfamadorians can look at all the different moments just the way we can look at a stretch of the Rocky Mountains, for instance. They can see how permanent all the moments are, and they can look at any moment that interests them. It is an illusion we have here on Earth that one moment follows another one, like beads on a string, and that once a moment is gone it is gone forever. When any Tralfamadorian sees a corpse, all he thinks is that the dead person is in a bad condition in that particular moment, but that the same person is just fine in plenty of other moments.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five

“I think you guys are going to have to come up with a lot of wonderful new lies, or people just aren't going to want to go on living.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five

“There is love enough in this world for everybody, if people will just look.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Cat’s Cradle

“There is one other book, that can teach you everything you need to know about life... it's The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, but that's not enough anymore.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five
