This week’s quote of the fortnight is from Kurt Vonnegut’s classic satire on the apocalypse, Cat’s Cradle. The quote also has to do with American cultural associations with landscape.
“Americans… are forever searching for love in forms it never takes, in places it can never be. It must have something to do with the vanished frontier.”
-Kurt Vonnegut, Cat’s Cradle, retrieved from https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/1621115-cat-s-cradle
