"Live by the foma* that make you brave and kind and happy and healthy."

*Harmless untruths

No fiction writer has had such a profound and delightful influence on my personal philosophy as Kurt Vonnegut. I'm incredibly thankful to have had his works in my life.

I'm sure his death was peaceful. He had many controlled near death experiences during his life and thus his experience with the afterlife far exceeds that of the average person.

I have never felt such a sadness as the death of an absolute stranger. I read his books again and again though, and I loved him, so perhaps he wasn't such a stranger.

Thank you Kurt Vonnegut. In my eyes you are the greatest American author ever to set pen to paper.
