...
Evren, eski küçük oyunların sahnelenemeyeceği kadar büyük. Sahnenin evrensel büyüklüğüne olayların, işlerin ve eylemlerin evrensel genişliği uymalı. Yoksa yanılıyor muyum? Yıldızlar çağında da sevi olacak, kıskançlık, alçaklık ,büyüklük, cimrilik... Evet, akan bir suda her nokta kendine göre devinir. Kendi isteğine göre gittiğini sanır. Ama bütün noktalar aynı yere doğru akıp giderler. İnsanlar da böyle. Gündelik işlere yapışıp kalabilirler, ya da kendilerini tutkulara bırakabilirler. Ama yine de bu, onların hep birlikte yıldızlara gitmelerini önlemez. Sanat yıldızlara doğru bu gidişte onların önünde olmalıdır.
Ama sonsuz göğe meydan okuyan bir insan betimlemek ne zor! Yıldızlara giden insanın iyiliğini yiğitliğini, gücünü güçsüzlüğünü hangi yontuda taşlaştıracağım? Bilginin sakin gücünü, coşkunun ataklığını ve duygusallığı, ışıklı melankolisini hep birden taşa nasıl geçirmeli ?
Sanat, sen bazen ne kadar güçsüzsün!

Evrenin Türküsü - G. Altov - V. Juravleva

I don't want to be a machine, and I don't want to think about war," EPICAC had written after Pat's and my
lighthearted departure. "I want to be made out of protoplasm and last forever so Pat will love me. But fate
has made me a machine. That is the only problem I cannot solve. That is the only problem I want to solve. I
can't go on this way." I swallowed hard. "Good luck, my friend. Treat our Pat well. I am going to shortcircuit myself out of your lives forever. You will find on the remainder of this tape a modest wedding
present from your friend, EPICAC.

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

So as near as I could tell the end of the world began roughly about the time that Billy Carver’s butt rang about halfway through the War of 1812.
