Bokononism Quotes

“And God created every living creature
that now moveth, and one was man. Mud as man alone could speak.
God leaned close as mud as man sat up, looked around, and spoke.
Man blinked. “What is the purpose of all this?” he asked politely.
“Everything must have a purpose?” asked God.

“Then I leave it to you to think of one for all this,” said God. And He
went away.”

“Oh, a very sorry people, yes,
Did I find here.
Oh, they had no music,
And they had no beer.
And, oh, everywhere
Where they tried to perch
Belonged to Castle Sugar, Incorporated,
Or the Catholic church.”
― Kurt Vonnegut, Cat’s Cradle

“Busy, busy, busy.”
― Kurt Vonnegut, Cat’s Cradle
