Kurt Vonnegut Quotes

It Didn't Matter Much What Dwayne Said. It Hadn't Mattered Much For Years. It Didn't Matter Much What Most People In Midland City Said Out Loud, Except When They Were Talking About Money Or Structures Or Travel Or Machinery - Or Other Measurable Thins. Every Person Had A Clearly Defined Part To Play - As A Black Person, A Female High School Drop-out, A Pontiac Dealer, A Gynecologist, A Gas-conversion Burner Installer. If A Person Stopped Living Up To Expectations, Because Of Bad Chemicals Or One Thing Or Another, Everybody Went On Imagining That The Person Was Living Up To Expectations Anyway.
That Was The Main Reason The People In Midland City Were So Slow To Detect Insanity In Their Associates. Their Imaginations Insisted That Nobody Changed Much From Day To Day. Their Imaginations Were Flywheels On The Ramshackle Machinery Of Awful Truth.
