Yes, they are a special kind of crazy. So what does that say about me as a middle school teacher? 😜😬

Vladimir Nabokov
“My loathings are simple. stupidity, oppression, crime, cruelty, soft music. My pleasures are the most intense known to man: writing and butterfly hunting.”
Vladmir Nabakov, Strong Opinions

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“Oh, a sleeping drunkard
Up in Central Park,
And a lion-hunter
In the jungle dark,
And a Chinese dentist,
And a British queen--
All fit together
In the same machine.
Nice, nice, very nice;
Nice, nice, very nice;
Nice, nice, very nice--
So many different people
In the same device.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Cat’s Cradle

Oscar Wilde
“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
Oscar Wilde

Ray Bradbury
“I hate all politics. I don't like either political party. One should not belong to them - one should be an individual, standing in the middle. Anyone that belongs to a party stops thinking.”
Ray Branbury

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“If I should ever die, God forbid, let this be my epitaph:
THE ONLY PROOF HE NEEDED
FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD
WAS MUSIC”
