Writers are specialized cells in the social organism. They are evolutionary cells. Mankind is trying to become something else; it’s experimenting with new ideas all the time. And writers are a means of introducing new ideas into the society, and also a means of responding symbolically to life. I don’t think we’re in control of what we do. | |
— Kurt Vonnegut, Jr | |
From his book: “Wampeters, Foma And Granfalloons“ | |
