Kurt Vonnegut Motivational Posters
<< Return to Blog

At once a optimist and a cynic, Vonnegut's love for humanity recognized and embraced each of its shortcomings. With his satirical blend of science fiction and humanism, Vonnegut gifted us with his clever one-liners and pearls of wisdom mixed in with the occasional dirty drawing. Following are a few of the gems he cast along the way, in the only acceptable format for true widom these days, the motivational poster.

    Kudos my friend, one of the true great american authors. I'v got one you missed Ambition "We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful what we pretend to be"

    How sad that this brilliant and wise man was smoking cigarettes in almost every photograph, the very same cigarettes that eventually killed him. A sobering reminder that smart doesn't always mean self-smart.

    Randiedenker: Vonnegut died after he fell down the stairs and hit his head, not from smoking.

    Im sorry Randiedenker but you must not know anything about Kurt Vonnegut. "So I'm going to sue the Brown & Williamson Tobacco Company, who manufactured them. And do you know why? Because I'm 83 years old. The lying bastards! On the package Brown & Williamson promised to kill me." He knew exactly what he was doing. Also, these posters are awesome

    LISTEN: randiedenker, you should do some research before embarassing yourself like that. Kurt Vonnegut is my idol, and I'll forever have him (and several assholes ***) tattooed on my arm. And so it goes. Poo-Tee-Weet

    Joey Fisherman said it all, well, almost. The above Randledenker's comment fully insults Vonnegut's complete message he spent his life trying to bring the world around to seeing. "So sad to see this brilliant and wise man......." Then to spin, no, mutilate his cause of death says you would have been best off with fingers off the keyboard this time.

    One of my favorite things he said was that smoking, to him, was a slow form of suicide. There's was a point in his older life when he almost did die from smoking, but it wasn't from any form of disease. He passed out with a lit cigarette, catching his house on fire, and having to be hospitalized for smoke inhalation. You know he was laughing at the irony of it.

    Wow! Talk about your idiocy. Not only did Vonnegut - a life-long heavy smoker, who surpassed average life expextancy by about a decade - not die from any smoking, or even any degenerative health related cause, but he's only seen smoking in 5 of the above 12 images. Aparently Randiedenker believes that less than half of something is the same as "almost all" of something. Incredible! With this in mind, Randiedenker also seems to want you to believe that he/she is qualified to comment on what "smart", and "self-smart." Welcome to the monkey-house! And, to the mind of your typical, puritanical anti-smoker loon.
