The best was also the shortest -- Kurt Vonnegut's &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/Man-Without-Country-Kurt-Vonnegut/dp/081297736X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1271754572&amp;sr=8-1&quot;&gt;Man Without a Country&lt;/a&gt;.

			<outline created="Tue, 20 Apr 2010 09:04:16 GMT" text="He was 82 when he wrote it. When a young person blames him for the horrible shape of the world he says &quot;But I just got here!&quot; He has a way of expressing complex ideas so simply and he touches exactly the spot that needs touching. What a nice way of saying life is too short."></outline>

At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies -- God damn it, you've got to be kind.&quot;"></outline>
