Kurt Vonnegut; 1922-2007

Mr. Vonnegut suffered irreversible brain injuries as a result of a fall several weeks ago. He died last night. So it goes.“Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies — ‘God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.’ ”Goodbye Kurt. We'll miss you. May your words live on. So it goes.
