Death Quote by Kurt Vonnegut — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“To be is to do - Socrates”

“The German philosopher Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, who had syphilis, said that only a person of deep faith could afford the luxury of religious skepticism. Humanists, by and large educated, comfortably middle-class persons with rewarding lives like mine, find rapture enough in secular knowledge and hope. Most people can't.”

“Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.”

“I wanted all things”

“Well finish your story anyway.”

“One of the few good things about modern times: If you die horribly on television, you will not have died in vain. You will have entertained us.”

“In the end, all you want is someone to long for you when it comes time to put you in the ground.”

“It was the meanest moment of eternity.”

“shot in the eye”

“In actuality, it was like the homes of all people who are not really rich but who want to look rich, and therefore end up looking like one another: it had damasks, ebony, plants, carpets, and bronzes, everything dark and gleaming—all the effects a certain class of people produce so as to look like people of a certain class. And his place looked so much like the others that it would never have been noticed, though it all seemed quite exceptional to him.”

“A halo surrounded the grim reaper nun, Sister Maria. (By the way-I like this human idea of the grim reaper. I like the scythe. It amuses me.)”

“Death does not concern us, because as long as we exist, death is not here. And when it does come, we no longer exist.”
