I was perusing through my favorite book earlier today: Slaughterhouse-Five. Perhaps the most incredibly misleading book I've read. I say misleading because when I finished it the first time (for academic superbowl...I KNOW...nerdy:D) I was like "What?! Tralfamadorians? 'Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt'? A fourth dimension? This guy must be on drugs."
But he wasn't. He beautifully, poetically, incredibly wasn't. If you haven't read the book I encourage you (and I MAY force you) to read it. Anywho, I highlighted a lot of quotes and came across two that were especially relevant to me at the moment.
"All time is all time. It does not change. It does not lend itself to warnings or explanations. It simply is. Take it moment by moment, and you will find that we are all, as I've said before, bugs in amber."
--You can see how Vonnegut feels about free will in this one.
"How nice--to feel nothing, and still get full credit for being alive."
--My god, how true is this. Take from it what you will.
And..."so it goes", which WILL be tattooed on my arm/shoulder/wrist/collarbone as soon as I feel the time is right:)
