This is what suckered me into this life. Vonnegut was the first author who I thought was writing just for me (stupid kid). To quote an erudite soul-
“later.”
I found “Breakfast of Champions” on a bus, and spent the rest of the trip lauging out loud, which I rarely did. It was that personal connection he could create, making me feel I was the only person he’d written it for,

And King of Skyscraper National Park, also? That was that book, I think. I’ve read all his books so many times some of the fine points have mushed together like a Tralfamadorian book.

Yeah…don’t do much cut-and-post, but these are some serious sentences…and humane. And imagine he was the prez of the Humanist Society.

Very wise words!
The Vonn rules when the question of being human instead of inhumane, or being kind instead of right, comes up.

Thank you for this.
It’s all Mr. Vonnegut…I’m just in the liberation business.

Often I find posted quotes without discussion to be hokey, but sometimes it’s the *right* quote at the *right* moment.

As a commercially responsible adult, I found Jailbird to be a guide for success. I actually rose to head a division of Ramjac Corp
