Kurt Vonnegut, RIP
"One of the few good things about modern times: If you die horribly on television, you will not have died in vain. You will have entertained us."
"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."
"Those who believe in telekinetics, raise my hand."
"Here is a lesson in creative writing. First rule: Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college."
"Just because some of us can read and write and do a little math, that doesn't mean we deserve to conquer the Universe."
"How nice--to feel nothing, and still get full credit for being alive."
"I say in speeches that a plausible mission of artists is to make people appreciate being alive at least a little bit. I am then asked if I know of any artists who pulled that off. I reply, 'The Beatles did'."
