"A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved."Kurt Vonnegut, Sirens of TitanOther powerful quotes by Kurt Vonnegut that I love:
"Our awareness is all that is alive and maybe sacred in any of us. Everything else about us is dead machinery. "
"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."
"We have to continually be jumping off cliffs and developing our wings on the way down."
"I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center."
"The worst thing that could possibly happen to anybody would be to not be used for anything by anybody. Thank you for using me, even though I didn't want to be used by anybody."

Goodbye Kurt Vonnegut...So it goes Goodbye Kurt Vonnegut
Vonnegut is the reason i'm a writer. I had just been reading “Man without a
Country,” his take on living in the bush regime, then got “timequakes” out of the
bukit panjang library last night and got half way through it, this morning i
woke to find out he will no longer be around to chainsmoke and gadfly the
psychopathic personalities that run our country and celebrate the lives of
humdrum quirky midwestern americans like himself...
