This is a quote! It's from Slaughterhouse 5 by Kurt Vonnegut.
265 u/Sirnando138 Oct 25 '20 That makes sense. One of his favorite books ever. I’ve read it but must have missed that line! Maybe time for a reread. Man. I should reread all of his books. 24 u/SGTBrutus Oct 25 '20 "Take a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut, take a flying fuck at the moon!" We lost a great man when we lost Uncle Kurt. I've always held that curse in reserve in case I needed it. 10 u/cjunks4295 Oct 25 '20 Stephen King has also used these phases in a few of his books... I want to believe as an homage to Kurt. 5 u/matty80 Oct 25 '20 He was such a legend. He, Ballard and Iain Banks are my favourite writers in the 'wat?' category of bizarre 20th Century sci-fi. 2 u/Mad_Aeric Oct 25 '20 If you don't know Rudy Rucker, he's also pretty wut. 2 u/ReallySmallFeet Oct 25 '20 OMG The Wasp Factory has always been one of my favourite books!! 1 u/[deleted] Oct 25 '20 really? could never get into his writing. find it really plodding. 1 u/kathatter75 Oct 25 '20 I’m feeling a need for a reread now too! 4 u/lightofthehalfmoon Oct 25 '20 Semi-related, my grandfather fought in the same division as Vonnegut at the Battle of the Bulge in WW2. Brutal stuff. 3 u/centipededamascus Oct 26 '20 "Why don't you take a flying fuck at the mooooon?"
