Quotation by Vonnegut Jr. Kurt:

There are plenty of good reasons for fighting," I said, "but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too. Where's evil? It's that large part of every man that wants to hate without limit, that wants to hate with God on its side.

-Kurt Vonnegut Jr. in Mother Night, 1961

Vonnegut Jr. Kurt     (more by this author)

1922-2007 (Age at death: 85 approx.)

One of the great, and in my estimation, perhaps the greatest American writer of the twentieth century. His work always challenged conventions, be they the conventions of belief, of ethics, of institutions or even the art form itself. In his later career, he expanded his creativity into visual arts as well.
