Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“He would later say of his performance: "It was the world that had suffered the nervous breakdown. I was just having fun in a nightmare”
Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Timequake

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“Any work of art is half of a conversation between two human beings, and it helps a lot to know who is talking at you.”
Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Timequake

Barbara W. Tuchman
“Sensing “the whole world, as it were, placed within the
grasp of the Evil One,” and waiting for death to visit him
too, he wrote, “I leave parchment to continue this work, if
perchance any man survive and any of the race of Adam
escape this pestilence and carry on the work which I have
begun.” Brother John, as noted by another hand, died of the
pestilence, but he foiled oblivion.”
Barbara W. Tuchman, A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“I always had trouble ending short stories in ways that would satisfy a general public. In real life, as during a rerun following a timequake, people don't change, don't learn anything from
their mistakes, and don't apologize. In a short story they have to do at least two out of three of those things, or you might as well throw it away in the lidless wire trash receptacle chained and padlocked to the fire hydrant in front of the American Academy of Arts and Letters.”
Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Timequake

Saladin Ahmed
“So this is old age! I’ve seen half my friends die.
I say prayers at their passing, too tired to cry.”
Saladin Ahmed, Throne of the Crescent Moon (Crescent Moon Kingdoms) by Saladin Ahmed
