Kurt Vonnegut Amber Quotations

Here we are, trapped in the amber of the moment. There is no why.

- Why me? - That is a very Earthling question to ask, Mr. Pilgrim. Why you? Why us for that matter? Why anything? Because this moment simply is. Have you ever seen bugs trapped in amber? - Yes. - Well, here we are, Mr. Pilgrim, trapped in the amber of this moment. There is no why.

There is no WHY, since the moment simply is, and since all of us are simply trapped in the moment, like bugs in Amber.
