"And even if the wars didn't keep coming like glaciers, there would still be plain old death."

Kurt Vonnegut, 1922-2007
If you really want to upset your parents, and you are not brave enough to be gay, go into the arts!
What should young people do with their lives today? Many things, obviously. But the most daring thing is to create stable communities in which the terrible disease of loneliness can be cured.
I wish that people who are conventionally supposed to love each other would say to each other, when they fight, 'Please—a little less love, and a little more common decency.'"
And, of course...
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.
Rest in Peace. And thanks for the books.
