Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
 .The insane, on occasion, are not without their charms |
| A Lovers a liar, to himself he lies. The truthful are loveless, like oysters their eyes |
| About astrology and palmistry: they are good because they make people vivid and full of possibilities. They are communism at its best. Everybody has a birthday and almost everybody has a palm. |
| Almost every war ends, properly, with its veterans feeling deceived and pointless and gullible, with their being persuaded that all participants were equally vile. |
| Another flaw in the human character is that everybody wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance. |
| Any reviewer who expresses rage and loathing for a novel is preposterous. He or she is like a person who has put on full armor and attacked a hot fudge sundae. |
| Artists use frauds to make human beings seem more wonderful than they really are. Dancers show us human beings who move much more gracefully than human beings really move. Films and books and plays show us people talking much more entertainingly than people. |
| Be careful what you pretend to be because you are what you pretend to be. |
| Be careful what you pretend to be because you are what you pretend to be. |
| Be careful what you pretend to be because you are what you pretend to be. |
| Being American is to eat a lot of beef steak, and boy, we've got a lot more beef steak than any other country, and that's why you ought to be glad you're an American. And people have started looking at these big hunks of bloody meat on their plates, you know, and wondering what on earth they think they're doing. |
| Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. |
| Everything was beautiful, and nothing hurt |
| Find a subject you care about and which you feel others should care about. It is this genuine caring, and not your games with language, which will be the most compelling and seductive element in your style. |
| Here we are, trapped in the amber of the moment. There is no why. |
