September 3, 1925 – November 6, 2007

I've traveled this whole world over and now I'm going down to the rainbow's end No friends no home I'm just a traveling alone on my way to the rainbow's end I'm weary and tired but I don't care I'm going down to the rainbow's end From twilight till dawn I'm trudging on and on, on my way to the rainbow's end They say there are treasures of silver and gold That's buried down by the rainbow's end But the treasure I find will bring me real peace of mind When I come to the rainbow's endFor someone is waiting there all alone so I will know at the rainbow's end How it feels to be pressed to an angel's breast when I come to the rainbow's end

Many people need desperately to receive this message: 'I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone.'
-Kurt Vonnegut

You realize, of course, that everything I say is horseshit.
-Kurt Vonnegut

I have a dream: a dream that, one day, chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.
-Mick Jones

These are really terribly rough times, and we really should try to be as nice to each other as possible.
-Lou Reed

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
-Dalai Lama

Dear future generations: Please accept our apologies

-Kurt Vonnegut

The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.
-Nietzsche

Things don't change. They outlive themselves and become silly.

-John Lukacs

"I don't want to get any messages saying, 'I am holding my position.' We are not holding a goddamned thing. Let the [reactionaries] do that. We are advancing constantly and we are not interested in holding onto anything, except the enemy's balls. We are going to twist his balls and kick the living shit out of him all of the time. Our basic plan of operation is to advance and to keep on advancing regardless of whether we have to go over, under, or through the enemy. We are going to go through him like crap through a goose, like shit through a tin horn."
-Gen. George Patton

“I do not know how the third World War will be fought, but I can tell you what they will use in the Fourth – rocks!

-Einstein

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, represents, in the final analysis, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, who are cold and are not clothed.

-Eisenhower
