Every now and then I'll come across a short Kurt Vonnegut quote, and it will make me want to read everything he ever wrote all over again, because he could sum up something true and universal in just a few perfect words.
Usually, it's the one about how you've got to be kind, babies, which is the best goddamn philosophy I've ever heard. But this week it's this one from Mother Night -
"We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”
- which feels more real in an age of social media than ever before.
I miss you, Mr Vonnegut. Thanks for all the words.
