Vonnegut is pretty spectacular. He throws endless insane concepts and situations at you with no fluff or unneeded words and they all contain a lesson. |

Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it. |

Rivers, ponds, lakes and streams - they all have different names, but they all contain water. Just as religions do - they all contain truths. |

The first lesson of economics is scarcity: there is never enough of anything to fully satisfy all those who want it. The first lesson of politics is to disregard the first lesson of economics. |

Hence it happens that one takes words for concepts, and concepts for the things themselves. |

Although Kurt Vonnegut may not be considered a humor writer, 'Breakfast of Champions' is one of the funniest books I've ever read. |

Suffering is a corrective to point out a lesson which by other means we have failed to grasp, and never can it be eradicated until that lesson is learnt. |

And that's what people want to see when they go to the theater. I believe at the end of the day, they want to see themselves - parts of their lives they can recognize. And I feel if I can achieve that, it's pretty spectacular. |

I think everyone thinks their family is insane, and every family is insane. There is no real normal. |

Whether you were talking about Pillsbury, Burger King, Godfather's, the National Restaurant Association, in each one of those situations, I had a daunting problem that I had to solve. And I used the same business principles to approach the problem and, more importantly, solve the problem in every one of the situations. |

Meanings are not determined by situations, but we determine ourselves by the meanings we give to situations. |

I'm writing a dirty phrase generator that takes a list of dirty words and finds the Levenshtein distance of those words to all other words in the dictionary and assigns a probability of being chosen indirectly proportional to the closest word in the dirty word list.

I having a recurring dream motif that I'm sure is far from rare. It usually begins in some kind of trivial social or isolated situation where I sense some sort of danger and sure enough, some vague something begins to chase me. Whether it be a sinister sock puppet that can wiggle its way out of my grip and through any obstacle, to a band of aboriginal tribesmen bent on skewering me, to a sweeping hooded figure gliding along a constant pace behind my molasses gait. A vast majority of the time I run in fear for a while, and upon realizing that I can escape I wake up. Other times I realize that the thing I am running from is my own fear, and I stop running to face the creature, only to find that once I do, it no longer exists.

My life led up to that moment for sure, a lot of the things I thought and found through contemplation and studying.
