"Those who believe in telekinetics, raise my hand." - Kurt Vonnegut
Thursday, April 12, 2007
sad news yesterday--one of the greatest american authors of all time passed away. kurt vonnegut was writing up until the end and i thank him for all the incredible books, essays, and art he has created for us. if you have never read any of his work, please do. cat's cradle is a personal favorite, but all his work is inspiring, insightful, and really makes you think. on top of that its often laugh out loud funny. i hope he took a trip to trafalmadore before he went wherever hes going.

"To whom it may concern: It is springtime. It is late afternoon. "
"We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful what we pretend to be. "
"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. "
"The year was 2081, and everyone was finally equal. "
"The universe is a big place, perhaps the biggest."
