Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“In the beginning, God created the earth, and he looked upon it in His cosmic loneliness.

And God said, "Let Us make living creatures out of mud, so the mud can see what We have done." And God created every living creature that now moveth, and one was man. Mud as man alone could speak.

Kurt Vonnegut, Cat’s Cradle

Kurt Vonnegut, The Sirens of Titan
