Mark Vonnegut quotes about
real military sacrifice
I take care of military families. Their sacrifices are very real.
book son self
Note to self: being Kurt's son, being an ex-mental patient, getting into Harvard, having written a book, and being a doctor are all things that in and of themselves do not make a life. If you lean on them too hard, you'll find that there's not much there. But if you add up a lot of things that aren't in and of themselves enough, it almost starts to add up to something....
art thinking giving
Art is lunging forward without certainty about where you are going or how to get there, being open to and dependent on what luck, the paint, the typo, the dissonance, give you. Without art, you're stuck with yourself as you are and life as you think life is.
crazy ideas paper
Who but a brazen crazy person would go one-on-one with blank paper or canvas armed with nothing but ideas?
memories regret crazy
It's regrets that make painful memories. When I was crazy I did everything just right.
book might would-be
Without writers fooling themselves about what their books might accomplish there would be no books at all.
We're here to get each other through this thing, whatever it is.
people feelings kicks
Having their feelings make sense is how people get their kicks.
