1 " The problem with thinking up a new and original idea within a novel is that you have to make sure that Kurt Vonnegut did not already think of it. "
― Meena Kandasamy , The Gypsy Goddess
2 " Should a writer have a social purpose? Any honest writer is bound to become a critic of the society he lives in, and sometimes, like Mark Twain or Kurt Vonnegut or Leo Tolstoy or Francois Rabelais, a very harsh critic indeed. The others are sycophants, courtiers, servitors, entertainers. Shakespeare was a sychophant; however, he was and is also a very good poet, and so we continue to read him. "
― Edward Abbey , Postcards from Ed: Dispatches and Salvos from an American Iconoclast
