“For maybe a hundred thousand years or more, grownups have been waving tangles of string in their children's faces." "Um." Newt remained curled in the chair. He held out his painty hands as though a cat's cradle were strung between them. "No wonder kids grow up crazy. A cat's cradle is nothing but a bunch of X's between somebody's hands, and little kids look and look and look at all those X's..." "And?" "No damn cat, and no damn cradle.” — Kurt Vonnegut
