A quote from Mother Night

“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.” ― Kurt Vonnegut

We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be. — Kurt Vonnegut

This is the only story of mine whose moral I know.

I don’t think it’s a marvelous moral; I simply happen to know what it is:

We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.

…

And yet another moral occurs to me now:

Make love when you can.

It’s good for you.

– Kurt Vonnegut, Iowa City, 1966
