Sad news tonight.  Kurt Vonnegut, my favorite author of all time, has passed away.

I learned a lot from Vonnegut’s works, but two of his quotes stick with me at all times.
On politics:

“There is a tragic flaw in our precious Constitution, and I don’t know what can be done to fix it. This is it: Only nut cases want to be president.”

On Life:

“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful what we pretend to be.”

Goodbye, Kurt.  You’ll be missed.
