Kurt Vonnegut Quotes

I Understand Now That All Those Antique Essays And Stories With Which I Was To Compare My Own Work Were Not Magnificent For Their Datedness Or Foreignness, But For Saying Precisely What Their Authors Meant Them To Say. My Teachers Wished Me To Write Accurately, Always Selecting The Most Effective Words, And Relating The Words To One Another Unambiguously, Rigidly, Like Parts Of A Machine. The Teachers Did Not Want To Turn Me Into An Englishman After All. They Hoped That I Would Become Understandable - And Therefore Understood.
