Your Daily Vonnegut: A New Feature

Starting this week, and running for awhile, a quote a day from Kurt Vonnegut, usually witty and/or political in nature.  My new e-book, Vonnegut and Me , was published a couple of days ago, detailing (often in a fun way) my "conversations and close encounters of a weird kind" with the famed novelist, starting in 1970 and then over the years. 

Today's quote, one of his most famous, relating to his character Howard W. Campbell, the American double-agent who too gleefully helped Hitler:  "We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful what we pretend to be."

Yesterday's quote, from my 1974 interview with him:  "When you get to be my age, you all of a sudden realize that you are being ruled by people you went to high school with.  You all of a sudden catch on that life is nothing but high school -- class officers, cheerleaders, and all.”
