Bright Moments Posted April 2, 2006 Report Posted April 2, 2006 i came across this while reading "Timequake" by Kurt Vonnegut (page 84): "I do not propose to discuss my love life. I will say that I still can't get over how women are shaped, and I will go to my grave wanting to pet their butts and boobs. I will say, too, that lovemaking, if sincere, is one of the best ideas Satan put in the apple she gave to the serpent to give to Eve. The best idea in that apple, though, is making jazz." Quote

MartyJazz Posted April 4, 2006 Report Posted April 4, 2006 that vonnegut is one strange dude! He just has a highly individualistic and poetic way of stating truths that most of us believe. Quote

Chuck Nessa Posted September 29, 2006 Report Posted September 29, 2006 Shared a beer in an empty bar with him one day in 1963. I'll never forget it and he will never remember it. Quote
Uncle Skid Posted September 29, 2006 Report Posted September 29, 2006 Shared a beer in an empty bar with him one day in 1963. I'll never forget it and he will never remember it. Just finished re-reading Galapagos. Cat's Cradle up next... Quote
Uncle Skid Posted September 29, 2006 Report Posted September 29, 2006 "Foreigners love us for our jazz. And they don’t hate us for our purported liberty and justice for all. They hate us now for our arrogance." Vonnegut's Blues for America Quote
Harold_Z Posted September 29, 2006 Report Posted September 29, 2006 (edited) I've recently reread "The Sirens Of Titan". After 40+ years. I still think it's one of the best books ever written. Chuck...you're fortunate to have hung out with him. That HAD to be interesting. Edited September 29, 2006 by Harold_Z Quote
