Yesterday I finished Kurt Vonnegut's, Breakfast of Champions. I saved the lines in the book that I felt were important or resonated with me. I hope you enjoy and some resonate with you. I thought, "Maybe I should write something about this book", but I'd rather let the man himself speak. Not to say I won't feel inclined to write about it anytime soon but anyway. Here you are.

“His high school was named after a slave owner who was also one of the world's greatest theoreticians on the subject of human liberty.” (On Thomas Jefferson High School)
“These were country girls. They had grown up in the rural south of the nation, where their ancestors had been used as agricultural machinery. The white farmers down there weren't using machines made out of meat anymore, though, because machines made out of metal were cheaper and more reliable, and required simpler homes.”
“Kilgore Trout once wrote a story called This Means You. It was set in the Hawaiian Islands…The law of gravity required that they (Hawaiians) stick somewhere on the surface. Either that, or they could go out into the water and bob offshore.
But then the Federal Government came through with an emergency program. It gave a big balloon full of helium to every man, woman and child who didn't own property.
There was a cable with a harness on it dangling from each balloon. With the help of the balloons, Hawaiians could go on inhabiting the islands without always sticking to things other people owned.”
“The prostitutes worked for a pimp now. He was splendid and cruel. He was a god to them. He took their free will away from them, which was perfectly all right. They didn't want it anyway. It was as though they had surrendered themselves to Jesus, for instance, so they could live unselfishly and trustingly except that they had surrendered to a pimp instead.”
“‘He works in a factory that makes chemicals for killing plants and trees in Viet Nam.’ Viet Nam was a country where America was trying to make people stop being communists by dropping things on them from airplanes. The chemicals he mentioned were intended to kill all the foliage, so it would be harder for communists to hide from airplanes… ‘In the long run, he's committing suicide,’ said the driver. ‘Seems like the only kind of job an American can get these days is committing suicide in some way.’”
“‘I never saw a Rosewater,’ he said, ‘but Rosewater always won. I walked on Rosewater. I dug holes for Rosewater in Rosewater. I lived in Rosewater houses. I ate Rosewater food. I'd fight Rosewater, whatever Rosewater is, and Rosewater would beat me and leave me for dead. You ask people around here and they'll tell you: this whole world is Rosewater as far as they're concerned.’”
“This was in a country where everybody was expected to pay his own bills for everything, and one of the most expensive things a person could do was get sick.”
“The reindeer problem was essentially this: Nobody white had much use for black people anymore except for the gangsters who sold the black people used cars and dope and furni-ture. Still, the reindeer went on reproducing. There were these useless, big black animals everywhere, and a lot of them had very bad dispositions. They were given small amounts of money every month, so they wouldn't have to steal. There was talk of giving them very cheap dope, too to keep them listless and cheerful, and uninterested in reproduction.
The Midland City Police Department, and the Midland County Sheriff's Department, were composed mainly of white men. They had racks and racks of sub-machine guns and twelve-gauge automatic shotguns for an open season on reindeer, which was bound to come.”
“He knew of death by exposure because the papery voice of the little radio in his cell told of people's dying of exposure from time to time.
He missed that papery voice. He missed the clash of steel doors. He missed the bread and the stew and the pitchers of milk and coffee. He missed fucking other men in the mouth and the asshole, and being fucked in the mouth and the ass-hole, and jerking off and fucking cows in the prison dairy, all events in a normal sex life on the planet, as far as he knew.”
“And Dwayne was so open to new suggestions about the meaning of life that he was easily hypnotized. So, when he looked down into his martini, he was put into a trance by dancing myriads of winking eyes on the surface of his drink. The eyes were beads of lemon oil.” (This is a very nice sounding and attractive line to me._
“And then I had come suddenly to pity them, for I understood how innocent and natural it was for them to behave so abominably, and with such abominable results: They were doing their best to live like people invented in story books. This was the reason Americans shot each other so often: It was a convenient literary device for ending short stories and books.
Why were so many Americans treated by their government as though their lives were as disposable as paper facial tissues? Because that was the way authors customarily treated bit-part players in their made-up tales.”
“It was Trout's fantasy that somebody would be outraged by the footprints. This would give him the opportunity to reply grandly, ‘What is it that offends you so? I am simply using man's first printing press. You are reading a bold and universal headline which says, ‘I am here, I am here, I am here.’ "
“‘You are an experiment by the Creator of the Universe. You are the only creature in the entire Universe who has free will. You are the only one who has to figure out what to do next and why. Everybody else is a robot, a machine. Some persons seem to like you, and others seem to hate you, and you must wonder why. They are simply liking machines and hating machines. You are pooped and demoralized,’ read Dwayne. ‘Why wouldn't you be? Of course it is exhausting, having to reason all the time in a universe which wasn't meant to be reasonable.’”
“Eddie Key had begun to store in his mind the names and adventures of ancestors on both his mother's and father's sides of his family when he was only six years old. As he sat in the front of the disaster vehicle, looking out through the windshield, he had the feeling that he himself was a vehicle, and that his eyes were windshields through which his progenitors could look, if they wished to.”
“We Americans require symbols which are richly colored and three-dimensional and juicy. Most of all, we hunger for symbols which have not been poisoned by great sins our nation has committed, such as slavery and genocide and criminal neglect, or by tinhorn commercial greed and cunning.”

I don't know how to feel about this book but I do know these lines are important.

Margaret Garner
Toni Morrison's inspiration for Beloved (1987).
Her on forgiving oneself;
Q: "Do you think it is possible, then, for someone to forgive themselves even when they've done something absolutely terrible?"
Yes, it's called grace. At some point you do. If you don't you're in a cul-de-sac where you go through the fire first. You have to experience the full fall and complete self loathing in order to come around to something like the forgiving of oneself. It's when you skip responsibility, when you use a substitute emotion like guilt, which is of no use to anyone. But if you feel the real thing which is shame, hatred, humiliation, and self loathing, that is the door. And if you get through that, that is when you forgive yourself.
Q: "Do you think everybody, at some point, needs that confrontation with themselves?"
Absolutely. All of the characters in my books whether they are successful or not, are pushed into that place, where all the definitions of themselves are suspicious, are you a good friend, are you a good person... you have to simply be stripped down and made very lean so you can see who you are. And then you make peace. It's difficult but its absolutely important. Otherwise, you never arrive at this delicious place called adulthood.
