Kurt Vonnegut


"The arts puts man at the center of the universe, whether he belongs there or not. Military science, on the other hand, treats man as garbage--and his children, and his cities, too. Military science is probably right about the contemptibility of man in the vastness of the universe. Still--I deny that contemptibility, and I beg you to deny it, through the creation of appreciation of art."

I don't think the picture is supposed to indicate that Vonnegut is now an angel - it's pretty unlikely , given his life - but rather that he's no longer with us...!
