What Kurt Vonnegut actually said
- Kurt Vonnegut American novelist (1922 to 2007)
But I know now that there is not a chance in hell of America’s becoming humane and reasonable. Because power corrupts us, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Human beings are chimpanzees who get crazy drunk on power.
