My name's Kristie. I'm in love with Kurt Vonnegut. I figured that tumblr needed a kick ass Vonnegut blog, so here's my attempt.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Kurt Vonnegut, Bluebeard
Referring to the famous quote from George Santayana, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
Trout presented himself to this harmless man, stood before his desk with his bare feet far apart and his arms outspread. “The Abominable Snowman has arrived,” he said to Milo. “If I’m not as clean as most abominable are, it is because I was kidnapped as a child from the slopes of Mount Everest, and taken as a slave to a bordello in Rio de Janeiro, where I have been cleaning the unspeakably filthy toilets for the past fifty years. A visitor to our whipping room there screamed in a transport of agony and ecstasy that there was to be an arts festival in Midland City. I escaped down a rope of sheets taken from a reeking hamper. I have come to Midland City to have myself acknowledged, before I die, as the great artist I believe myself to be.”
