Chpt. 4 & 5. Quote

"Billy was guided by dread and the lack of dread." - Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse V, Pg. 92.

I picked this quote because it seems to fit in with everything that billy does, it gives him motivation, or lack thereof. This is significant throughout the enitre book because it explains Billys actions for everything he does, every move, every word he speaks, its all motivated by this explanation given through this quote. I have heard this quote in many books, due to the fact that this idea is widely used in literature to give readers insight into the characters motivation throughout the entire story.
