We are healthy to the extent that our ideas are humane.

RIP KV.

Terrible way to start the day. KV has been a hero of mine for a very long time and I have read and love all of his books. I don't have the words to express how this feels right now.

God Bless You, Mr. Vonnegut.

Man got to tell himself he understand.

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.

Kurt is up in heaven now.

Never read anything he did.

Very easy to fix, and a fine day to do it.

"When you get to my age, if you get to my age, and if you have reproduced, you will find yourself asking your own children, who are themselves middle-aged, "What is life all about?" I have seven kids, three of them orphaned nephews.

I put my big question about life to my son the pediatrician. Dr. Vonnegut said this to his doddering old dad: "Father, we are here to help each other get through this thing, whatever it is."
