Chapter 4 and 5 quote

"There are no telegrams on Tralfamadore.But you're right: each clump of symbols is a brief, urgent message-describing a situation, a scene.We Tralfamadorians read them all at once, not one after the other.There isn't any particular relationship between all the messages, except that the author has chosen them carefully,so that, when seen all at once, they produce an image of life that is beautiful, surprising, and deep.There is no beginning, no middle, no end, no suspense, no moral, no causes, no effects.What we love in our books are the depths of many marvelous moments, seen all at one time." pg.112
I chose this quote because I am intrigued by the Tralfamadorians way of life and thinking. I wonder what Vonnegut is trying to portray with this quote? Is he trying to remind people to see the bigger picture,and that many details almost lack importance? The signifigance of this quote in the novel, is it gives more insight into Billy Pilgrim's way of thinking. More than anything Pilgrim learns from the ways of the Tralfamadorians, their theory's influence his thinking. Ideas such as those talked about in the quote, are commonly seen in Science Fiction novels.
