QUOTES: KURT VONNEGUT

Kurt Vonnegut

"So it goes."

“The most important thing I learned on Tranlfamadore was that when a person dies he only appears to die. He is still very much alive in the past, so it is very silly for people to cry at his funeral. All moments, past, present, and future, always have existed, always will exist…Now, when I myself hear that somebody is dead, I simply shrug and say what the Tralfamadorians say about dead people, which is ‘So it goes.’”—Billy Pilgrim from Slaughterhouse Five, by Kurt Vonnegut
