You can't just eat good food....

You can't just eat good food. You've got to talk about it too. And you've got to talk about it to somebody who understands that kind of food.

A sum of money is a leading character in this tale about people, just as a sum of honey might properly be a leading character in a tale about bees.

What a bummer it is to be a human being.

Our awareness is all that is ...

Our awareness is all that is alive and maybe sacred in any of us. Everything else about us is dead machinery.

Our government's got a war on drugs. That's certainly better than no drugs at all.

We're a terribly lonesome society. For all I know, all societies are. You can make a few new friends, that's all. You can't change history. History is happening to us now.

I'm simply interested in what is going to happen next. I don't think I can control my life or my writing. Every other writer I know feels he is steering himself, and I don't have that feeling. I don't have that sort of control. I'm simply becoming. I'm startled that I became a writer.

How embarrassing to be human.

There are lots of things worth doing that are no way to make a living. They are agreeable ways to make a more agreeable life.

Bill Gates says, 'Wait till you can see what your computer can become.' But it’s you who should be doing the becoming. What you can become is the miracle you were born to work-not the damn fool computer.

He became fubar in the classic way, which is to say that he was the victim of a temporary arrangement that became permanent.

People should practice an art in order to make their souls grow and not to make money or become famous. Paint a picture. Write.

The arts are not a way to make a living.

Powers Hapgood had just come ...

Powers Hapgood had just come from court because there was some kind of dust-up on a picket line. The judge was so curious about him - coming from a rich family - why he would choose to live as he had. I guess you know what his answer was ..."The Sermon on the Mount, sir." That's important.

Since Alice had never received any religious instruction, and since she had led a blameless life, she never thought of her awful luck as being anything but accidents in a very busy place. Good for her.

Kurt Vonnegut 962 quotes

I hope that my ideas attract ...

I hope that my ideas attract a lively dialogue, even if my sentences are simple. Simple sentences have always served me well. And I don't use semicolons. It's hard to read anyway, especially for high school kids. Also, I avoid irony, too. I don't like people saying one thing and meaning the other.

Kurt Vonnegut 962 quotes

I am eternally grateful for my knack of finding in great books, some of them very funny books, reason enough to feel honored to be alive, no matter what else might be going on.

When I worked with General Electric, again this was soon after the Second World War, you know, I was keeping up with new developments and they showed me a milling machine and this thing worked by punch cards - that's where computers were at that time, and everybody was sort of sheepish about how well this thing worked because in those days machinists were treated as though they were great musicians because they were virtuosos on these machines.

Kurt Vonnegut 962 quotes

Anyway -- because we are readers, we don't have to wait for some communications executive to decide what we should think about next -- and how we should think about it. We can fill our heads with anything from aardvarks to zucchinis -- at any time of night or day.
