I often turn to Kurt Vonnegut when I don’t know what I need.

When the pandemic started earlier this year, I read Cat’s Cradle. Being the umpteenth time, I omitted from my 2020 Book List.

As I went down the YouTube rabbit hole again, I was finally listening to David Foster Wallace’s commencement speech.

Failing to gain traction and getting distracted by varying ideas, Kurt called from the suggested videos.

I’ve written about lines (What’s Your Line, Introductory Narrative Writing) but these are some of the nicest lines I’ve ever seen.

Enjoy.
