Herman Melville
“The devil fetch ya, ya ragamuffin rapscallions; ye are all asleep.”
Herman Melville, Moby-Dick or, The Whale

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“He supposed that the intent of the Gospels was to teach people, among other things, to be merciful, even to the lowest of the low. But the Gospels actually taught this:
Before you kill somebody, make absolutely sure he isn't well connected. So it goes.”
Kurt Vonnegut

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“Trout, incidentally, had written a book about a money tree. It had twenty-dollar bills for leaves. Its flowers were government bonds. Its fruit was diamonds. It attracted human beings who killed each other around the roots and made very good fertilizer.
So it goes.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“I have told my sons that they are not under any circumstances to take part in massacres, and that the news of massacres of enemies is not to fill them with satisfaction or glee. I have also told them not to work for companies which make massacre machinery, and to express contempt for people who think we need machinery like that.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“It is just 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.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five
