Vonnegut's Thoughts on Joseph Heller's Passing-Flying in the Face of Capitalism

Found yesterday on another blogger's feed regarding the question of "when is it enough," as it pertains to material possession. It's subtly, conversationally succinct, and should be considered. JOE HELLER True story, Word of Honor: Joseph Heller, an important and funny writer now dead, and I were at a party given by a billionaire on Shelter Island. I said, “Joe, how does it make you feel to know that our host only yesterday may have made more money than your novel ‘Catch-22′ has earned in its entire history?” And Joe said, “I’ve got something he can never have.” And I said, “What on earth could that be, Joe?” And Joe said, “The knowledge that I’ve got enough.” Not bad! Rest in peace! -Kurt Vonnegut
