Nothing hard was ever easy
That's an example of a Vonnegut quote; the quotables were not what I ever appreciated about his writing. There were lots of these quotes out on the internet today, and they strike me as being fortune cookie-like. I always thought Slaughterhouse Five was the best of his that I ever read, in that vein of fiction with a message which works, along with Catch-22, Going After Cacciato, and some other war-is-hell novels. A humane-sounding fellow, Mr.V. We share a birthday, by happenstance.
Bye, Mr. Imus. Go home and take a nap.

Anyone who shares a birthday with Kurt Vonnegut deserves some special recognition, though for the life of me I have no idea why. Just accept it and speak well of his intellect. I have it on good authority that he wasn't bloodthirsty, either, by the way.
"Go home and take a nap."
Very apt:
1. He's been acting like a cranky toddler. 2. He looks like he hasn't slept in ... well, ever. 3. He is one of those people about whom it is said, "How does he sleep at night?"
