The trick is that we all have to do exactly the same things as we did the first time--minute by minute, hour by hour, year by year, betting on the wrong horse again, marrying the wrong person again. Why? You'll have to ask the old science fiction writer, Kilgore Trout. ...

God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater
Kurt Vonnegut
Dial Press Trade Paperback, 1998
