Love whoever is around to be loved.

All quotes by author Kurt Vonnegut

"We have to continually be jumping off cliffs and developing our wings on the way down."

"Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies: God damn it, you've got to be kind."

"Many people need desperately to receive this message: 'I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone.'"

"A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved."

"How nice--to feel nothing, and still get full credit for being alive."

"She was trying to construct a life that made sense from things she found in gift shops."

"I am eternally grateful for my knack of finding in great books, some of them very funny books, reason enough to feel honored to be alive, no matter what else might be going on."

"And I asked myself about the present: how wide it was, how deep it was, how much was mine to keep."

"People have to talk about something just to keep their voice boxes in working order so they'll have good voice boxes in case there's ever anything really meaningful to say."

"There are too many of us and we are all too far apart."
