00:00We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.
00:06Kurt Vonnegut
00:10If you want to really hurt you, you can't do it by hurting me.
00:14You have to hurt somebody I love.
00:18Kurt Vonnegut
00:22So it goes.
00:24Kurt Vonnegut
00:28I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don't let anybody tell you different.
00:34Kurt Vonnegut
00:38Hello babies. Welcome to Earth.
00:43It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter.
00:46It's round and wet and crowded.
00:49At the outside, crowded, warm, wet, round, and deep.
00:55It's full of bones and babies and the Earth is solid.
00:59You will be expected to learn to sit up, then to walk.
01:03Then you will be expected to talk.
01:07Then you will be expected to learn all of the things that human beings know, with the exception of how
01:12to fly.
01:14You are not expected to learn to fly.
01:17You don't have the wings.
01:20But once you can act like a human being, better get on it.
01:25Kurt Vonnegut
01:28There is nothing holy about hate.
01:32Kurt Vonnegut
01:35God damn it, you've got to be kind.
01:39Kurt Vonnegut
01:43All persons are persons.
01:46All persons are valuable.
01:49Kurt Vonnegut
01:53I have been programmed to be a defender of life.
01:58Kurt Vonnegut
02:01True terror is to wake up in the night and think that I've not been wise, or good, or effective.
02:08Kurt Vonnegut
02:11Practice any art, music, singing, dancing, or writing, any art.
02:17Practice your writing.
02:20Practice your drawings.
02:22Practice your singing.
02:25Practice your dancing.
02:27Become good at it.
02:29And then you can make something better.
02:33Kurt Vonnegut
02:37We are too easily amused.
02:40Kurt Vonnegut
02:44And I urge you to please notice everything.
02:48Don't miss a thing.
02:50That's all.
02:52Kurt Vonnegut
02:56There is no beginning, no middle, no end, no suspense, no moral, no reason.
03:02No anything.
03:05Sometimes I think that's the only comfort.
03:09Kurt Vonnegut
03:12The people who run the world are not the people who make the world.
03:17Those who make the world are not those who run it.
03:21Kurt Vonnegut
03:25I want to sing the song of life.
03:28I want to sing la la la la la la.
03:31Kurt Vonnegut
03:35I have this motto, if at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
03:41Then quit.
03:42Why bother straining yourself?
03:46Kurt Vonnegut
03:50Life is like a B movie.
03:52It's terribly cheesy and made on a low budget.
03:56But it's still a movie, and, you know, it's exciting.
04:01Kurt Vonnegut
04:05One of the biggest delusions in the world is the belief that the world is God's creation.
04:11The world is a cosmic accident.
04:14Kurt Vonnegut
04:18And on and on it goes, and on and on it goes.
04:22Kurt Vonnegut
04:24No
04:24If I was good.
04:26People have killed
