My insomnia is acting up and I’m reading a Vonnegut book.
“Little else is requisite to carry a state to the highest degree of opulence from the lowest barbarism, but peace, easy taxes, and a tolerable administration of justice: all the rest being brought about by the natural course of things.”
-Adam Smith
“I hear there are three kinds of suns in Kansas. Sunshine. Sunflowers and sons of bitches”
-The Outlaw Josie Wales.
“To the Army and the navy and the battles they’ve won. To the red white and blue and the colors that never run”
-Big Trouble in Little China.
(My friends from college and I still use that one when we get together.)
‘We can’t help everyone, but everyone can help someone.”
– Ronald Reagan
“In the long run we’re all dead”
- John Maynard Keynes
And this from the book I’m reading tonight
“But I have to say in defense of humankind: in no matter what was in history, including the Garden of Eden, everybody just got here. and, except for the Garden of Eden, there were already all these games going on that could make you act crazy, even if you weren’t crazy to begin with. Some of the crazymaking games going on today are love and hate, liberalism and conservatism, automobiles and credit cards, golf, and girls basketball”
