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.
“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.
“So it goes.”
Kurt Vonnegut

Herman Melville
“For all his old age, and his one arm, and his blind eyes, he must die the death and be murdered, in order to light the gay bridals and other merry-makings of men, and also to illuminate the solemn churches that preach unconditional inoffensiveness by all to all.”
Herman Melville, Moby Dick: or, the White Whale
