Kurt Vonnegut on Love
← Back to Kurt Vonnegut Profile
“Make love when you can. It's good for you.”
“A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.”
“Love is where you find it. I think it is foolish to go looking for it, and I think it can often be poisonous.”
“I wish that people who are conventionally supposed to love each other would say to each other, when they fight, "Please — a little less love, and a little more common decency."”
“If somebody says, "I love you", to me, I feel as though I had a pistol pointed at my head. What can anybody reply under such conditions but that which the pistol-holder requires? "I love you, too".”
