(I went hiking in some beautiful mountains over the weekend, with one of my daughters, and decided to repost this one from 2007, just slightly changed. I can’t believe it’s been more than five years since this was first posted. I feel like it’s as timely as ever.)
“If I should ever die, God forbid, let this be my epitaph: The only proof he needed for the existence of God was music.”
Kurt Vonnegut died on April 11, 2007.
The quote is from Man Without a Country, his last book, my favorite. The same thought appears in some of his earlier books. Here’s a picture of a page from Man Without a Country:
He wrote many great books. My favorites are Slaughterhouse-Five, Cat’s Cradle, God Bless You Mr. Rosewater, Player Piano, and Welcome to the Monkey House.
Some of his quotes are put together into Confetti Prints, at www.vonnegut.com.

This is really good stuff. We really are on this earth to goof around and if we goof around enough some good stuff might come pouring out. At least it did for Vonnegut. Thanks Tim.
