Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“He had no idea that people thought he was clowning. It was Fate, of course, which had costumed him--Fate, and a feeble will to survive.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse 5: The Children's Crusade A Duty-Dance With Death

Bella Bathurst
“She had a conversation with a man with a beard, and youre saying she hangs around graveyards at night and bags off with the undead?”
Bella Bathurst, Special
