Kurt Vonnegut Quotes

We don't make bicycles anymore. It's all human relations now. The eggheads sit around trying to figure out new ways for everyone to be happy. Nobody can get fired, no matter what; and if somebody does accidentally make a bicycle, the union accuses us of cruel and inhuman practices and the government confiscates the bicycle for back taxes and gives it to a blind man in Afghanistan.

Kurt Vonnegut

Remember, much like the mending of the body, the healing of some spiritual and emotional challenges takes time. Richard G. Scott
