Slaughterhouse-Five

"Do you know why they took me in the saucer?"

"That is so."

"I wish you all had seen a lot more of the war as it was."

"Everything we see, we see from exactly one angle."

"You know what the problem with Earth is?"

"Now I am here, now I am there."

"How nice—to feel nothing, and still get full credit for being alive."

"That's one thing I know for sure: I'm coming unstuck."

"It is just an illusion here on Earth that one moment follows another one, one thing happens after another."

"The most important thing I learned on Tralfamadore was that when a person dies he only appears to die."

"I have this disease late in life...I'm tired all the time."

"Somebody said to me, 'You know what Americans are? They're the people that, if you die, they make money off you.'"

"More power than that would be weird."

"Everything is beautiful and nothing hurts."

"So I was paying for that mistake."

"It takes courage to ask for things."

"You are safe. You are among friends."

"Congratulations. I am a Tralfamadorian, seeing all time as you might see a stretch of the Rocky Mountains."

"It's all a dream."

"And I had to come home in a wheelchair."

"Earthling, you are an experiment."

"You are the only person who has ever been sent to that planet."

"That was I. That is me. That is the only me that will ever be. That is me."

"The most important thing I learned is that when you grow up you can't believe anything is true."

"That was I. That is me. That is the only me that will ever be."

"Bad luck and extreme youth were all we had in common."

"Come children of Earth. Leave your Earthling ways."

"You are an Earthling, you are trapped in time."

"It is written."

"I'm not mad. It's just the drug that makes me talk like this."
