Kurt Vonnegut quote: "Fucking was how babies were made."
Fucking was how babies were made. Kurt Vonnegut
We are not witnessing the flow of information so much as pure spectacle, or information made sacred, ritually unreadable. The small monitors of the office, home and car become a kind of idolatry here, where crowds might gather in astonishment. Don DeLillo
Nick Hornby quote: "I feel as though I made a face and the wind changed, and now I..."
...I feel as though I made a face and the wind changed, and now I have to go through life grimacing in this horrible way. Nick Hornby
They were adored by the Germans, who thought they were exactly what Englishmen ought to be. They made war look stylish and reasonable, and fun...They were dressed half for battle, half for tennis or croquet. Kurt Vonnegut
Ms. Lessing points to a current dogma: political correctness. "It's a continuation of the old Communist Party. It is! The same words, the same attitudes...

A good debater is not necessarily an effective vote-getter: you can find a hole in your opponent's argument through which you could drive a coach and four ringing jingle bells all the way, and thrill at the crystallization of a truth wrung out from a bloody dialogue - which, however, may warm only you and your muse, while the smiling paralogist has in the meantime made votes by the tens of thousands. William F. Buckley, Jr.
Kurt Vonnegut quote: "Wake up, you idiots! Whatever made you think that money was so..."
Wake up, you idiots! Whatever made you think that money was so valuable? Kurt Vonnegut
George S. Patton quote: "No good decision was ever made in a swivel chair."
No good decision was ever made in a swivel chair. George S. Patton
To create, I destroyed myself; I made myself external to such a degree within myself that within myself I do not exist except in an external fashion. I am the living setting in which several actors make entrances, putting on several different plays. Fernando Pessoa
Jack Kerouac quote: "do you think God made the world to amuse himself because he..."
...do you think God made the world to amuse himself because he was bored? Because if so he would have to be mean. Jack Kerouac
People felt themselves watching him even before they knew that there was anything different about him. His eyes made a person think that he heard things that no one else had ever heard, that he knew things no one had ever guessed before. He did not seem quite human. Carson McCullers
