Gotta love Vonnegut; “a cigarette will likely kill you; a fire on one side and a fool on the other.” Or when questioned by his kids on the deplorable state of our planet; “oh shut up! I just got here myself!”.

Quite inspiring. I should probably read some actual books by Vonnegut (I keep doing this ridicolous thing of reading weird other stuff instead of reading the actual books of writers)

“Let’s give everyone a totem at birth. What proof do I have that even highly educated people need nonsensical, arbitrary symbols which will relate them to other people and the Earth and the Universe? I am a Scorpio. Would those of you who are also Scorpios please hold up your hands? Lookee there! Dostoevsky was one of us!”

LOL

Una raccolta degli splendidi discorsi tenuti da Vonnegut ai laureandi di varie università americane dagli anni '70 agli anni 2000. Una piccola oasi di positività.
È il mio primo approccio a questo autore e già lo amo.

"Capitava che d'estate ce ne stessimo seduti all'ombra di un melo a bere limonata, e zio Alex interrompeva la conversazione per dire: «Cosa c'è di più bello di questo?»
Spero che voi farete lo stesso per il resto della vostra vita. Quando le cose vanno bene e tutto fila liscio, fermatevi un attimo, per favore, e dite a voce alta: «Cosa c'è di più bello di questo?»"

I love you, Kurt Vonnegut. And I miss you. The world desperately needs another Vonnegut or Twain to come along, soon.

Thank you, uncle Kurt, for your infinite wisdom.

Recommended if you want to laugh and get some life advice (don't we all?).
