Kurt Vonnegut Jr. Quotes

Galapagos': Vonnegut Explores Big-Brain Theory
October 23, 1985, Elizabeth Mehren

The Big Trouble, In Kurt Vonnegut's View, Is Our Big Brains.

'Our Brains Are Much Too Large,' Vonnegut Said. 'We Are Much Too Busy. Our Brains Have Proved To Be Terribly Destructive.'

Big Brains, Vonnegut Said, Invent Nuclear Weapons. Big Brains Terrify The Planet Into Worrying About When Those Weapons Will Be Used. Big Brains Are Restless. Big Brains Demand Constant Amusement.
