Fifteen things Kurt Vonnegut said better than anyone else

More Vonnegut gold

Ring the bells that still can ring/Forget your perfect offering/There’s a crack in everything/That’s how the light gets in. — Leonard Cohen

Charles Bukowski nails it

“When it’s over, I want to say: all my life
I was a bride married to amazement.
I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.

When it is over, I don’t want to wonder
if I have made of my life something particular, and real.
I don’t want to find myself sighing and frightened,
or full of argument.

I don’t want to end up simply having visited this world.  — Mary Oliver
