Book cover for Things I Wish I Knew Before My Mom Died: Coping with Loss Every Day
If we all shamelessly loved each other, then death would be an easier pill to swallow. If we loved without regret, without guilt, without judgment—you know: shamelessly—then death would just be the price we paid for a love so grand.

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“I thought scientists were going to find out exactly how everything worked, and then make it work better. I fully expected that by the time I was twenty-one, some scientist, maybe my brother, would have taken a color photograph of God Almighty—and sold it to Popular Mechanics magazine. Scientific truth was going to make us so happy and comfortable. What actually happened when I was twenty-one was that we dropped scientific truth on Hiroshima.”
Kurt Vonnegut

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“Be aware of this truth that the people on this earth could be joyous, if only they would live rationally and if they would contribute mutually to each others' welfare.

This world is not a vale of sorrows if you will recognize discriminatingly what is truly excellent in it; and if you will avail yourself of it for mutual happiness and well-being. Therefore, let us explain as often as possible, and particularly at the departure of life, that we base our faith on firm foundations, on Truth for putting into action our ideas which do not depend on fables and ideas which Science has long ago proven to be false.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Palm Sunday: An Autobiographical Collage

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“For some reason, the most vocal Christians among us never mention the Beatitudes (Matthew 5). But, often with tears in their eyes, they demand that the Ten Commandments be posted in public buildings. And of course, that's Moses, not Jesus. I haven't heard one of them demand that the Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes, be posted anywhere. 'Blessed are the merciful' in a courtroom? 'Blessed are the peacemakers' in the Pentagon? Give me a break!”
Kurt Vonnegut, A Man Without a Country

“. . . but the Universe is an awfully big place. There is room enough for an awful lot of people to be right about things and still not agree.”
Kurt Vonnegut, The Sirens of Titan

C.G. Jung
“Through pride we are ever deceiving ourselves. But deep down below the surface of the average conscience a still, small voice says to us, something is out of tune. ”
Carl Gustav Jung
