Trout was petrified there on Forty-second Street. It had given him a life not worth living, but I had also given him an iron will to live. This was a common combination on the planet Earth. —Kurt Vonnegut, Breakfast of Champions

There is no reason why good cannot triumph as often as evil. The triumph of anything is a matter of organization. If there are such things as angels, I hope that they are organized along the lines of the Mafia. —Kurt Vonnegut, The Sirens of Titan

They gave Pandora a box. Prometheus begged her not to open it. She opened it. Every evil to which human flesh is heir came out of it. The last thing to come out of the box was hope. It flew away. —Kurt Vonnegut, Timequake
A Pre-Raphaelite-style painting titled “Pandora” by John William Waterhouse, featuring a young woman with a laurel wreath in her auburn hair. She is dressed in flowing white and orange robes and is seated outdoors amidst lush greenery. She gazes thoughtfully into the distance while holding an intricately decorated open box, symbolizing the mythical Pandora’s box. The soft lighting and natural setting emphasize the painting’s serene yet symbolic mood.

Only nut cases want to be president. This was true even in high school. Only clearly disturbed people ran for class president. —Kurt Vonnegut, A Man Without a Country

Rain-soaked dystopian cityscape at night, with neon lights reflecting on wet streets. The phrase ‘Goodbye Blue Monday’ is prominently displayed in glowing letters against a backdrop of towering, dimly lit buildings and a cloudy, ominous sky.

Artists …. are people who say, “I can't fix my country or my state or my city, or even my marriage. But by golly, I can make this square of canvas, or this eight-and-a-half-by-eleven piece of paper, or this lump of clay, or these twelve bars of music, exactly what they ought to be!” —Kurt Vonnegut

I am eternally grateful for my knack of finding in great books, some of them very funny books, reason enough to feel honored to be alive, no matter what else might be going on. —Kurt Vonnegut, Timequake

The Dresden atrocity ... was so meaningless, finally, that only one person ... got any benefit from it. I am that person. I wrote this book ... . One way or another, I got two or three dollars for every person killed. Some business I'm in. ― Kurt Vonnegut, Palm Sunday
