Scott, in my entire 16 years of being a professional photographer, I have never had one senior reply to the question “Who is your favorite author?” with Kurt Vonnegut. You are one incredibly special young man to appreciate the depth and brilliance of that man. I found you thoughtful and contemplative, with a smidge of imp. Go forth into the world of English and writing or teaching with curious eyes and your head held high!
I will end with this:
“To be is to do – Socrates
To do is to be – Sartre
Do Be Do Be Do – Sinatra”
― Kurt Vonnegut
