Kurt Vonnegut Armageddon In Retrospect (2008) |
|
Reading and writing are in themselves subversive acts. What they subvert is the notion that things have to be the way they are, that you are alone, that no one has ever felt the way you have. What occurs to people when they read Kurt is that things are much more up for grabs than they thought they were. The world is a slightly different place just because they read a damn book. Imagine that.
***
But when Marx said that, back in the 1840s, his use of the word opium wasnt simply metaphorical. Back then real opium was the only painkiller available, for toothaches or cancer of the throat, or whatever. He himself had used it. As a sincere friend of the downtrodden, he was saying he was glad they had something which could ease their pain at least a little bit, which was religion.

What is my definition of jazz? Safe sex of the highest order.

The very best thing you can be in life is a teacher, provided that you are crazy in love with what you teach, and that your classes consist of eighteen students or fewer. Classes of eighteen students or fewer are a family, and feel and act like one.
***
And how should we behave during this Apocalypse? We should be unusually kind to one another, certainly. But we should also stop being so serious. Jokes help a lot. And get a dog, if you dont already have one.

Frank Lesser Sad Monsters: Growling on the Outside, Crying on the Inside (2011) |
|
Many monsters suffer from psychological problems, although the warning signs can be easy to miss. Does that vampire stay in his crypt all day because sunlight will burn him to ashes, or because he has social anxiety disorder? Is that zombie always moaning about brains because shes hungry, or is she projecting her insecurities about never going to college?
***
In this book you will find monsters who are sad, misunderstood, discouraged, lonely, and in many cases demonized, particularly the demons. Perhaps someday you will realize that inside each of them is a human, or at least parts of one.
***
I may be an undead fiend, but Im not an undead jerk. Ive had centuries to reflect on past relationships, and Ive learned that no matter how painful it is, honesty is always the best policy. The second-best policy is impalement.
***
Im marrying my Frankenstein.
Some people think love like ours should be illegal, but if I cared about whats legal, I never would have broken into those morgues in the first place. Because unlike the rest of this bigoted world, I dont judge my Frankenstein on whats rotting on the outside, but whats rotting on the inside. And if you cant accept that a man could be deeply in love with a man made of the body parts of other men, then maybe youre the one with the twisted brain of a criminal.
***
So your buddy went hiking alone in the woods, got bit by a werewolf, and now once a month transforms into a bloodthirsty beast. Dont worry: You havent lost a friend, youve gained an amazing pet.
