“We have to be constantly jumping off cliffs and developing our wings on the way down.”
Very true!

“It is a tragedy, perhaps, that human beings can get so much energy and enthusiasm from hate. If you want to feel ten feet tall and as though you could run a hundred miles without stopping, hate becomes pure cocaine any day. Hitler resurrected a beaten, bankrupt, half-starved nation with hatred and nothing more. Imagine that.”

Kurt‘s words continue to be relevant today. Love this man!

#27 of my year. This is a third rereading for me. I have read most of Vonnegut‘s books from when I was 16/17 years old so every time I reread his books it‘s incredibly nostalgic for me. And now I wish I was using my Vonnegut mug this morning 🙇🏻‍♀️

Caffeinated_Reader This is the 3rd time I have read this book, it still holds up. I love his writing and wit and intellect. He‘s one of my favorite writers and every time I read his books it takes me back to being 16 and discovering his ideas and being blown away by his honesty. He‘s definitely one of my hero‘s in life. So it goes. 5y
