More quotes by Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five

"There isn’t any particular relationship between the messages, except that the author has chosen them carefully, so that, when seen all at once, they produce an image of life that is beautiful and surprising and deep. There is no beginning, no middle, no end, no suspense, no moral, no causes, no effects. What we love in our books are the depths of many marvelous moments seen all at one time."
"And I asked myself about the present: how wide it was, how deep it was, how much was mine to keep."
"And so it goes..."
"How nice -- to feel nothing, and still get full credit for being alive."
