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. |

“I am sometimes called “The King of Candlesticks,” because I own more than one thousand candlesticks.
But I am fonder of my middle name, which is “Daffodil-11.” And I have written this poem about it, and about life itself, of course:
I was those seeds,
I am this meat,
This meat hates pain,
This meat must eat.
This meat must sleep,
This meat must dream,
This meat must laugh,
This meat must scream.
But when, as meat,
It’s had its fill,
Please plant it as,
A Daffodil.—Kurt Vonnegut, Slapstick

“I spoke of American loneliness…I said that all the damaging excesses of Americans in the past were motivated by loneliness rather than a fondness for sin.”

Notes"The world is full of people who are very clever at seeming much smarter than they really are. They dazzle us with facts and quotations and foreign words and so on, whereas the truth is that they know almost nothing of use in life as it is really lived."“Slapstick, or Lonesome No More”-Kurt Vonnegut (via fyeahkurtvonnegut)
