millerfamily discovered 20 months ago- From the page: "And hey, listen: A sappy woman sent me a letter a few years back. She knew I was sappy, too, which is to say a lifelong northern Democrat in the Franklin Delano Roosevelt mode, a friend of the working stiffs. She was about to have a baby, not mine, and wished to know if it was a bad thing to bring such a sweet and innocent creature into a world as bad as this one is. I replied that what made being alive almost worthwhile for me, besides music, was all the saints I met, who could be anywhere. By saints I meant people who behaved decently in a strikingly indecent society. Perhaps some of you are or will become saints for her child to meet."

- From the page: "Do you know what a Humanist is? I am honorary president of the American Humanist Association, having succeeded the late, great science fiction writer Isaac Asimov in that functionless capacity. We Humanists try to behave well without any expectation of rewards or punishments in an afterlife. We serve as best we can the only abstraction with which we have any real familiarity, which is our community. We had a memorial services for Isaac a few years back, and at one point I said, ''Isaac is up in Heaven now.'' It was the funniest thing I could have said to a group of Humanists. I rolled them in the aisles. It was several minutes before order could be restored. And if I should ever die, God forbid, I hope you will say, ''Kurt is up in Heaven now.'' Thatâ€s my favorite joke." Kurt Vonnegut

- Vonnegut: Stark truth and piercing humour. A delight. Even though by his reckoning, apparently, I am a twerp. But I'm not American so maybe that cancels out. "... 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'." Amen.

- Ah Vonnegut, a blast of fresh air in these stagnated and stuffy times!
