The universe is a big place, perhaps the biggest.
Kilgore Trout, (Philip Jose Farmer), "Venus on the Half Shell"
pseud. of Philip Jose Farmer  

Notes about this Quotation

  • Kilgore Trout is a fictional science-fiction author who appeared as a character in the novels of Kurt Vonnegut. "Venus on the Half-Shell" was written by Philip Jose Farmer, under the pseudonym Kilgore Trout, with Vonnegut's permission. So this quotation, often attributed to Vonnegut, actually came from Farmer.
