Mark Vonnegut Quotes

Put on all the armor of the Lord. Not just the pretty stuff Picture Quote #1

Are people who have been crazy held to unfair standards?Of course, but it’s not in your best interest to complain. If you’re paranoid and people are looking at you funny it’s best to let it pass. Psychotic people have an uncanny knack for making their own worst dreams come true. Depressing things happen to depressed people way beyond what you would expect from random distribution Picture Quote #1

Art is lunging forward without certainty about where you are going or how to get there, being open to and dependent on what luck, the paint, the typo, the dissonance, give you. Without art you’re stuck with yourself as you are and life as you think life is Picture Quote #1

I’m not an expert on the Middle East or terrorism or the use of military force or politics. It’s all I can do to know a little bit about how to help people raise their kids and what to do when they get sick. When a war happens, I just hope it gets over with quickly so that how we take care of children becomes more important again Picture Quote #1

Knowing that you’re crazy doesn’t make the crazy things stop happening Picture Quote #1

My mother, who was radiant, young, and beautiful even as she lay dying, heard voices and saw visions, but she always managed to make friends with them and was much too charming to hospitalize even at her craziest Picture Quote #1

Introverts almost never cause me trouble and are usually much better at what they do than extroverts. Extroverts are too busy slapping one another on the back, team building, and making fun of introverts to get much done. Extroverts are amazed and baffled by how much some introverts get done and assume that they, the extroverts, are somehow responsible Picture Quote #1

With mental illness the trick is to not take your feelings so seriously; you’re zooming in and zooming away from things that go from being too important to being not important at all Picture Quote #1

It’s regrets that make painful memories. When I was crazy I did everything just right Picture Quote #1

The most radical, audacious thing to think is that there might be some point to working hard and thinking hard and reading hard and writing hard and trying to be of service Picture Quote #1

Reading and writing are in themselves subversive acts. What they subvert is the notion that things have to be the way they are, that you are alone, that no one has ever felt the way you have Picture Quote #1

Without writers fooling themselves about what their books might accomplish there would be no books at all Picture Quote #1

Once you’ve been talked to by voices, it’s not possible to go back to a world where talking voices is not possible Picture Quote #1

Life for the unwell is discontinuous and unpredictable. Things just come out of nowhere. People try but mostly do a lousy job of taking care of you Picture Quote #1

Well, I thought, last night I paid my dues. I faced death. Now I can stay Picture Quote #1

The way I played music there was the way I wanted to farm, chop wood, cook, make love, raise children. Everything. A lo of it had to do with things I felt while I played. If only I could feel that sense of total absorption in what I was doing when I was doing other things. It was more than absorption, it was spontaneity, competence, a sense of grace and playfulness, of being in touch with an inexhaustible source of energy and beauty Picture Quote #1

As well as being one of the worst things that can happen to a human being, schizophrenia can also be one of the richest learning and humanizing experiences life offers Picture Quote #1

Art is lunging forward without certainty about where you are going or how to get there, being open to and dependent on what luck, the paint, the typo, the dissonance, give you. Without art, you’re stuck with yourself as you are and life as you think life is Picture Quote #1
