Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“I will say, too, that lovemaking, if sincere, is one of the best ideas Satan put in the apple she gave to the serpent to give to Eve. The best idea in that apple, though, is making jazz.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Timequake

Chuck Palahniuk
“When you think about it, Johnny Appleseed was a fucking ecological terrorist.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Lullaby

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“He was talking about the sign that said 'THE COMPLICATED FUTILITY OF IGNORANCE.'
'All knew was that I didn't want my daughter or anybody's child to see a message that negative every time she comes into the library,' he said. 'And then I found out it was you who was responsible for it.'
'What's so negative about it?' I said.
'What could be a more negative word than "futility"?' he said.
'"Ignorance,"' I said.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Hocus Pocus

Hunter S. Thompson
“A lot of blood has gone under the bridge since then, and we have all learned a hell of a lot about the realities of Politics in America. Even the politicians have learned – but, as usual, the politicians are much slower than the people they want to lead.”
Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail '72

Charles Bukowski
“People who believe in politics are like people who believe in God: they are sucking wind through bent straws.”
Charles Bukowski
