I love you, Eliza,โ I said. She thought about it. โNo,โ she said at last, โI donโt like it.โ โWhy not?โ I said. โItโs as though you were pointing a gun at my head,โ she said. โItโs just a way of getting somebody to say something they probably donโt mean. What else can I say, or anybody say, but, โI love you, tooโ?
Kurt VonnegutHuman beings will be happier - not when they cure cancer or get to Mars or eliminate racial prejudice or flush Lake Erie but when they find ways to inhabit primitive communities again. That's my utopia.
Kurt VonnegutThe Chicago City News Bureau was a tripwire for all the newspapers in town when I was there, and there were five papers, I think. We were out all the time around the clock and every time we came across a really juicy murder or scandal or whatever, they'd send the big time reporters and photographers, otherwise they'd run our stories. So that's what I was doing, and I was going to university at the same time.
