Self Pursuit Helping you grow, think, create and live a life of perpetual development.

Video Tribute Kurt Vonnegut (1922 - 2007)

On April 11th the great Kurt Vonnegut passed away. Kurt Vonnegut will always be thought of first as the author of the novel Slaughterhouse-Five, which expressed the Sixties’ American generation’s rejection of war as a means of achieving either state policy or human good.

Vonnegut’s work — though consistently ironical, distanced and even flippant in tone — was haunted by strong feelings about the insanity of the war in which he had participated as an American infantryman, and of the grotesque nature of the cruelty practised upon mankind by itself.

See for yourself:

His work, in my opinion, took on the role of being truly inspirational preaching in what has become in many respects a mad world that we live in today.

Kurt Vonnegut's Words

"Everything was Beautiful and Nothing Hurt."

"If this isn't nice, I don't know what is."

"Just because some of us can read and write that doesn't mean we deserve to conquer the Universe."

"A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved."

"There is no reason good can't triumph over evil, if only angels will get organized along the lines of the Mafia."

Glowing Tributes

"He was the voice of sanity in an insane world." - Gary Poole, Spartanburg,, SC

 

"I can still clearly remember the words of Vonnegut and Hunter S. Thomspon in the months leading up to the Iraq War, warning as loudly as they could of the corpse-soaked nightmare to come. They were rare voices in late 2002, as they were such rare voices in their lifetimes.

Vonnegut said what he wanted to say, because he believed it, because he wanted to provoke, to excite reaction, to educate, and to remind us that the greatest of all human attributes is a simple one : kindness. Nothing is more important, not even love. "Just be kind," he used those words as a mantra and a warning to all humanity, but in particular the war gods of the West.

He was right, they were all wrong, and he now he's gone." - Darryl Mason, Sydney, Australia

My Thoughts

Kurt Vonnegut is a truly inspirational voice and everyone in the personal development field could learn to grow and develop by living his messages. Although he has sadly passed his legacy of work will live on generation after generation, his awe-inspiring nature will shine on with everyone who embraces his fundamental message of kindness.
