"What’s it like to be this old? I can’t parallel park worth a damn anymore. Please don’t watch when I try to do it. But no matter how bad things may get for me, the music will still be wonderful. My epitaph, should I ever need one, God forbid: 'The only proof he ever needed of the existence of God was music.'"
"We had a memorial service for Asimov a while back, and at one point I said, ‘Isaac is up in Heaven now’. That was the funniest thing I could have said to an audience of Humanists. I rolled them in the aisles. It was several minutes before order could be restored. If I should ever die, again God forbid, I hope some of you will say, ‘Kurt's up in Heaven now.’ That's my favorite joke."
-Kurt Vonnegut
