It was a marvelous engine for doing violence to the spirit of thousands of laws without actually running afoul of so much as a city ordinance. - Kurt Vonnegut

Take it moment by moment, and you will find that we are all, as I’ve said before, bugs in amber.

During the Vietnam War, which lasted longer than any war we've ever been in -- and which we lost -- every respectable artist in this country was against the war. It was like a laser beam. We were all aimed in the same direction. The power of this weapon turns out to be that of a custard pie dropped from a stepladder six feet high.

Wars would be a lot better, I think, if guys would say to themselves sometimes "Jesus — I'm not going to do that to the enemy. That's too much."
