by Kurt Vonnegut
Finally picked this one up on the bus today. One of my favorite things about Vonnegut is his ability to encapsulate such world-weary, exhausted-with-humanity, ironic wisdom into three short lines.
Page five: "Somebody should have told him that being a physicist on a planet where the smartest animals hate being alive so much, means never having to say you're sorry."
Page seven: "Hooray for firemen!
Scum of the Earth as some may be in their daily lives, they can all be saints in emergencies.
Hooray for firemen."
This ability to draw so much pain, humor, and bewilderment with the incongruities of life never ceases to impress me. And that's one reason I keep reading.
