I’m Definitely Not In Control

Writers are specialized cells in the social organism.  They are evolutionary cells.  Mankind is trying to become something else;  it’s experimenting with new ideas all the time.  And writers are a means of introducing new ideas into the society, and also a means of responding symbolically to life.  I don’t think we’re in control of what we do.
—    Kurt Vonnegut, Jr
From his book:  “Wampeters, Foma And Granfalloons“
