Give me knowledge or give me death!”
― Kurt Vonnegut

― Kurt Vonnegut, Wampeters, Foma and Granfalloons
“Wake up, you idiots! Whatever made you think that money was so valuable?”
― Kurt Vonnegut
“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.”
― Kurt Vonnegut
