“They were sentimental young men, given to tears and to furies.”
“In a sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function. we make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. we laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful.”

“I’ve been thinking a lot about what we lost when we lost Kurt Vonnegut, and the main thing that keeps coming to mind is that we lost a moral voice. We lost a very reasonable and credible-though not to say staid or toothless-voice who helped us know how to live…
…Then we have our novelists and short-story writers. By comparison, these people seem sane and well mannered. The catch is, they are, by and large, very quiet. They toil in the woods or on campuses or in Brooklyn, and they are so polite that they would never tell anyone, let alone their reader, how to live. And so the majority of contemporary literature, though it truly is brilliant and wonderful in a myriad ways, is also free from moral instruction.”
-Dave Eggers
