‘
We are here on Earth to fart around’
Inspirational Vonnegut Quote
One 1.25" pinback button with a quote on the joy of leisure from Kurt Vonnegut Jr. The author used the aphorism multiple times, in regards to the pleasure of going out to buy a single envelope rather than having a hundred efficiently delivered to his house; and also the long, complicated process of sending out one of his short stories, which involved interacting and meeting multiple people from all walks of life.
One version of the quote goes:
“
I don’t know why so many of us work ourselves to death every day. I mean, do you really think that we’re actually here because the universe needs one more person to push one more piece of paper around? I just can’t believe that so many people think that the universe’s plan for us is to chase money from the moment we’re able to spend it, to the moment we die. And the worst thing is, we’re not even happy in the process!
“
I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don’t let anybody tell you different.
“
There you go, I just saved you a bunch of time being miserable.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. was an American writer and humorist. In a career spanning over 50 years, Vonnegut published fourteen novels, three short story collections, five plays, and five works of non-fiction.
