Heres to Mr. Vonnegut....Rest well in the peace you searched for....

"I've had a hell of a good time," Vonnegut once wrote. "I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don't let anybody tell you any different."
"There is nothing intelligent to say about a massacre," Vonnegut wrote.

[edit] God Bless You (1965)
Full title: God Bless You, Mr Rosewater, or Pearls Before Swine

"I love you sons of bitches. You�re all I read any more. You're the only ones who�ll talk all about the really terrific changes going on, the only ones crazy enough to know that life is a space voyage, and not a short one, either, but one that�ll last for billions of years. You�re the only ones with guts enough to really care about the future, who really notice what machines do to us, what wars do to us, what cities do to us, what big, simple ideas do to us, what tremendous misunderstanding, mistakes, accidents, catastrophes do to us. You're the only ones zany enough to agonize over time and distance without limit, over mysteries that will never die, over the fact that we are right now determining whether the space voyage for the next billion years or so is going to be Heaven or Hell."

Eliot Rosewater to a group of science fiction writers!

"We few, we happy few, we band of brothers -- joined in the serious business of keeping our food, shelter, clothing and loved ones from combining with oxygen."

Eliot Rosewater to a group of volunteer firemen.

"Like all real heroes, Charley had a fatal flaw. He refused to believe that he had gonorrhea, whereas the truth was that he did."

On Charley Warmergran, the Fire Chief of Rosewater.

"Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies -- 'God damn it, you've got to be kind.'"
