Was zum Nachdenken…
„The first sentence in The Books of Bokonon is this: ‘All of the true things I am about to tell you are shameless lies.‘“
„And I remembere The Fourteenth Book of Bokonon, which I had read in its entirety the night before. The Fourteenth Book is entitled, ‘What Can a Thoughtful Man Hope for Mankind on Earth, Given the Experience of the Past Million Years?’ It doesn’t take long to read The Fourteenth Book. It consists of one word and a period. This is it: ‘Nothing.’“
„If I were a younger man, I would write a history of human stupidity [...] and I would take from the ground some of the blue-white poison that makes statues of men; and I would make a statue of myself, lying on my back, grinning horribly, and thumbing my nose at You Know Who [god].“
- Kurt Vonnegut [Cat's Cradle]
Aus einer mehr oder weniger spontanen Laune heraus hatte ich Lust das alte Buch mal wieder rauszukramen und mir die paar angestrichenen Seiten durchzulesen. Whatever =)
Zum Schluss noch was tolliges, was ich gerade im erisischen Forum entdeckt habe, ein Zitat von RA-Punzel:
„Und: wer etwas wirklich ist, kann es auch zu Pseudozwecken sein.
Aber: wer etwas nicht ist, kann es nur zu Pseudozwecken sein, sofern er es davor nicht wirklich wird.“
