I'm Lauren, and I'm a proud groupie. I have a (probably unhealthy) obsession with Kurt Vonnegut: his words, his drawings, and his wisdom. From time to time you'll see more personal things on here, because it is my blog, but it's probably 95% Vonnegut. If you love Kurt, you're in the right place. |

Notes"Mankind flung its advance agents ever outward, ever outward. Eventually it flung them into space, into the colorless, tasteless, weightless sea of outwardness without end. It flung them like stones."Kurt Vonnegut (The Sirens of Titan)

Notes The Sirens of Titanmisguidedplasticcommunication:
You go up to a man, and you say, “How are things going, Joe?” and he says, “Oh fine, fine — couldn’t be better.” And you look into his eyes, and you see things really couldn’t be much worse. When you get right down to it, everybody’s having a perfectly lousy time of it, and I mean everybody. And the hell of it is, nothing seems to help much.
Kurt Vonnegut

Notes"It was a Tuesday afternoon. It was springtime in the northern hemisphere of Earth. Earth was green and watery. The air of Earth was good to breathe, as fattening as cream. The purity of the rains that fell on Earth could be tasted. The taste of purity was daintily tart. Earth was warm. The surface of Earth heaved and seethed in fecund restlessness. Earth was most fertile where the most death was."Kurt Vonnegut, The Sirens of Titan (via emmasoph)

Notes"Unk shook his head vaguely. He could think of no apt condensation of his adventures for the obviously ritual mood. Something great was plainly expected of him. He was not up to greatness. He exhaled noisily, letting the congregation know that he was sorry to fail them with his colorlessness. “I was a victim of a series of accidents,” he said. He shrugged. “As are we all,” he said."The Sirens of Titan, Kurt Vonnegut (via rustillin2it)
