If you see this post, quote Kurt Vonnegut
"You know what I say to people when I hear they're writing anti-war books?"
"No. What do you say, Harrison Starr?"
"I say, 'Why don't you write an anti-glacier book instead?'"
What he meant, of course, was that there would always be wars, that they were as easy to stop as glaciers.

this slays me
this is the quote i've been spreading around in remembrance, from my favorite of his books - "wampeters, foma, and granfalloons" (its short stories and essays).
"when i think about my own death, i don't console myself with the idea that my descendants and my books and all that will live on. anybody with any sense knows that the whole solar system will go up like a celluloid collar by-and-by. i honestly believe, though, that we are wrong to think that moments go away, never to be seen again. this moment and every moment lasts forever."
- from 'reflections on my own death'
god.
