Since there is no one else to praise me, I will praise myself -- will say that I have never tampered with a single tooth in my thought machine, such as it is. There are teeth missing, God knows -- some I was born without, teeth that will never grow.

What had made me move through so many dead and pointless years was curiosity. Now even that had flickered out.More Kurt Vonnegut quotes [03/29/2018 05:03:36]
