Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“She hated people that thought too much. At that moment, she struck me as an appropriate representative for almost all mankind.”
Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Cat’s Cradle

John Irving
“There was the human body, which was so clearly designed to want babies--and then there was the human mind, which was so confused about the matter. Sometimes the mind didn't want the babies, but sometimes the mind was so perverse that it made other people have babies they knew they didn't want. For whom was this insisting done? Dr. Larch wondered. For whom did some minds insist that babies, even clearly unwanted ones, must be brought, screaming, into the world?”
John Irving, The Cider House Rules

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“Son--they say there isn't any royalty in this country, but do you want me to tell you how to be king of the United States? Just fall through the hole in a privy and come out smelling like a rose.”
Kurt Vonnegut Jr., The Sirens of Titan

Richard Russo
“The student newspaper contains a lot more humor, though most of it is unintentional. Except for the front page (campus news) and the back page (sports), the campus rag contains little but letters to the editor, which I scan first for allusions to myself and next for unusual content, which in the current climate is any subject other than the unholy trinity of insensitivity, sexism, and bigotry, which the self-righteous, though not always literate, letter writers want their readers to know they're against. As a group they seem to believe that high moral indignation offsets and indeed outweighs all deficiencies of punctuation, spelling, grammar, logic, and style. In support of this notion there's only the entire culture.”
Richard Russo, Straight Man

Frederick Douglass
“I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and incur my own abhorrence”
Frederick Douglass, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass
