Quote du Jour: Vonnegut
From the intro to Armageddon in Retrospect, the first collection of previously unpublished works by author Kurt Vonnegut since his death:
The unhappiest times in his life were those months and sometimes a whole year when he couldn't write, when he was "blocked." He'd try just about anything to get unblocked, but he was very nervous and suspicious about psychiatry. In my early-to-mid-twenties he let it slip that he was afraid that therapy might make him normal and well adjusted, and that would be the end of his writing. I tried to reassure him that psychiatrists weren't nearly that good.
