"Become aware of the physical distance and spatial orientation that you experience while in the company of others. Being empathetic and sensitive to a person's physical comfort zone can have a huge effect on the way in which you are received and perceived."

"Proxemics is the study of human use of space and the effects that population density has on behavior, social interaction, and communication. Imagine invisible bubbles around every person that provides each of us with comfort zones for social engagement and interaction."

"It would take six months to get to Mars if you go there slowly, with optimal energy cost. Then it would take eighteen months for the planets to realign. Then it would take six months to get back, though I can see getting the travel time down to three months pretty quickly if America has the will."

"The revolutionary breakthrough will come with rockets that are fully and rapidly reusable. We will never conquer Mars unless we do that. It'll be too expensive. The American colonies would never have been pioneered if the ships that crossed the ocean hadn't been reusable."

Kurt Vonnegut
"The brainless serenity of charwomen and janitors working late at night came over us. In a messy world we were at least making our little corner clean."

Peace

Quote_1.png
Kurt Vonnegut
"There were lots of things to stop and see - and then it was time to go, always time to go."

Life

Quote_1.png
Kurt Vonnegut
"Unfortunately, that still leaves plenty of Americans who don't read much or think much -- who will still be extremely useful in unjust wars. We are sick about that. We did the best we could."

Politics

Quote_1.png
Kurt Vonnegut
"I was taught that the human brain was the crowning glory of evolution so far, but I think it's a very poor scheme for survival."

Survival

Quote_1.png
Kurt Vonnegut
"No matter how corrupt, greedy, and heartless our government, our corporations, our media, and our religious & charitable institutions may become, the music will still be wonderful."

Society

Quote_1.png
Kurt Vonnegut
"As for myself: I had come to the conclusion that there was nothing sacred about myself or any human being, that we were all machines, doomed to collide and collide and collide. For want of anything better to do, we became fans of collisions. Sometimes I wrote well about collisions, which meant I was a writing machine in good repair. Sometimes I wrote badly, which meant I was a writing machine in bad repair. I no more harbored sacredness than did a Pontiac, a mousetrap, or a South Bend Lathe."

Humanity

Quote_1.png
Kurt Vonnegut
"After the thing went off, after it was a sure thing that America could wipe out a city with just one bomb, a scientist turned to Father and said, 'Science has now known sin.' And do you know what Father said? He said, 'What is sin?"

Philosophy

Quote_1.png
Kurt Vonnegut
"We're doomed to repeat the past no matter what. That's what it is to be alive. It's pretty dense kids who haven't figured that out by the time they're ten.... Most kids can't afford to go to Harvard and be misinformed."

History

Quote_1.png
Kurt Vonnegut
"Human beings will be happier - not when they cure cancer or get to Mars or eliminate racial prejudice or flush Lake Erie but when they find ways to inhabit primitive communities again. That's my utopia."

Society

Kurt Vonnegut
"I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all the kinds of things you can't see from the center."
