  6. A quotation from Kurt Vonnegut

    The most important thing I learned on Tralfamadore was that when a person dies he only appears to die. He is still very much alive in the past, so it is very silly for people to cry at his funeral. All moments, past, present and future, always have existed, always will exist. The Tralfamadorians can look at all the different moments just that way we can look at a stretch of the Rocky Mountains, for instance. They can see how permanent all the moments are, and they can look at any moment that interests them. It is just an illusion we have here on Earth that one moment follows another one, like beads on a string, and that once a moment is gone it is gone forever.

    Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (1922-2007) American novelist, journalist
    Slaughterhouse-Five, ch. 2 (1969)

  15. “The Shape of Stories” originated as the basis for Kurt Vonnegut’s master thesis in anthropology at the University of Chicago in the late 1940s. It was rejected as the thesis committee felt Vonnegut’s theory was too simplistic; He felt that the committee thought his theory "looked like too much fun". Vonnegut would go on to leave ABD (All But Dissertation) until the university accepted his 1963 novel “Cat's Cradle” in lieu of his master's thesis.
