He was 84.
Vonnegut's brain was filled with sarcasm, dark thoughts and humor. I liked him.

Before you kill somebody, make absolutely sure he isn't well connected.

Beer, of course, is actually a depressant. But poor people will never stop hoping otherwise.

We have to continually be jumping off cliffs and developing our wings on the way down.

Vonnegut played himself in a cameo in 1986's Back To School, in which he is hired by Rodney Dangerfield's Thornton Melon to write a paper on the topic of the novels of Kurt Vonnegut. Recognizing the work as not Melon's own, Professor Turner tells him, "Whoever did write this doesn't know the first thing about Kurt Vonnegut."
