Since there is no one else to praise me, I will praise myself—will say that I have never tampered with a single tooth in my thought machine, such as it is. There are teeth missing, God knows-some I was born with-out, teeth that will never grow. And other teeth have been stripped by the clutchless shifts of history-But never have I willfully destroyed a tooth on a gear of my thinking machine. Never have I said to my-self, “This fact I can do without.” (From Mother Night) …a purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved. (From Sirens of Titan) I suppose they will all want dignity (from Slaughterhouses Five)
