Top Five Vonnegut Quotes

In no particular order:
  1. "I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, 'If this isn't nice, I don't know what is.'"
  2. "A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved."
  3. "I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center."
  4. "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.'"
  5. "Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies - 'God damn it, you've got to be kind."
