excerpt from Kurt Vonnegut’s famous lecture on “The Shape of Stories”

(link is timestamped but segment begins 37m30s into full speech)

We don't know enough about life to know what the good news is and the bad news is ... So although I don't believe in heaven, I would like to go up to such a place once just to ask somebody in charge—“Hey, what was the good news and what was the bad news?”—because we can't be sure.
