I loved everything I saw. Good night!



"Nothing in this book is true."
-epigram

"All of the things I am about to tell you are shameless lies."
- First sentence in the Books of Bokonon 

Newt remained curled in the chair. He held out his painty hands as though cat's cradle were strung between them. "No wonder kids grow up crazy. A cat's cradle is nothing but a bunch of X's between somebody's hands, and little kids look and look and look at all those X's..."
"And?"
" No damn cat, and no damn cradle."
- Newt Hoenikker (chapter 74)

"As the poet said, Mom, 'Of all the words of mice and men, the saddest are, "It might have been." ' "
- John (Chapter 123)


These have been excerpts from Cat's Cradle, but Kurt Vonnegut.
