Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt

From the novel Slaughterhouse- Five by Kurt Vonnegut

Thanks to Adam for putting me onto this… a beautiful quote from the tombstone of Billy Pilgrim, a fictional character from Kurt Vonnegut’s novel ‘Slaughterhouse-Five’, describing his final reflections on his very eventful life.

It reminds that though life often seems hard and unfair, life itself is still a miracle.. and therefore it is extremely beautiful.
