"I am a Tralfamadorian, seeing all time as you might see a stretch of the Rocky Mountains. All time is all time. It does not change. It does not lend itself to warnings or explanations. It simply is . Take it moment by moment, and you will find that we are all, as I've said before, bugs in amber." (pg 85-85)
I found this to be a significant quote for several reasons. First of all, I'm not quite sure who the Tralfamadorians are but I think as the story continues I'll be able to figure out who these alien creatures are and what purpose they serve in the book. But I found this quote to be important also because the way they see time is gives us some insight into a theme Vonnegut is trying to get across. I think this way of viewing life will becoming important to Billy Pilgrim and significant to the way he looks at war and how he is trying to make his point to the reader.
