So It Goes

Ah, how I love Vonnegut. I decided to read "Bluebeard", one of his lesser known novels. Definitely a good pick: it made me laugh & inspired me. I have nothing more to say, really, other than to write my favorite quotes:

"The human condition can be summed up in just one word... Embarassment."

"I have had all I can stand of not taking myself seriously."

"Knowledge was so much junk to be processed one way or another at great universities. The real treasure the great universities offered was a lifelong membership in a respected artificial family."

"And what is literature... but an insider's newsletter about affairs relating to molecules of no importance to anything in the Universe but a few molecules who have the disease called 'thought'."
