A review by ssalamanca
A Man Without a Country by Kurt Vonnegut
4.0
"There is no reason good can't triumph over evil, if only angels will get organized along the lines of the mafia."
"We are here on Earth to fart around. Don't let anybody tell you any different."
"I say of Jesus as all humanists do, 'If what he said is good, and so much of it is absolutely beautiful, what does it matter is he was God or not?'"
"In case you haven't noticed, we also dehumanized our own soldiers, not because of their religion or race, but because of their low social class. Sent 'em anywhere. Make 'em do anything."
"I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, 'If this isn't nice, I don't know what is.'"
If I could have a dinner party with any person, dead or alive, it would be Kurt Vonnegut. If he wasn't already geriatric when he wrote this book, I would have assumed the government offed him due to his candor.
