In fact, it was Bokonon himself who convinced the ruler of San Lorenzo to outlaw the religion in order to give ‘the religious life of the people more zest, more tang’.

Vonnegut's Nihilistic Views Exposed in Cat's Cradle If humans strive to fulfill their void, of a lack of meaning in their lives, their folly will blind them from the truth.

the club with Lorenzo, not because she herself wanted to, but Lorenzo forced her to. She dated him for a while, and her relationship was getting serious every day. She wanted to make Ty jealous if they visited WOLVES AND SHE-WOLVES, the way he made her jealous. Lorenzo saw a strange glitter in her eyes that revealed her true self. She was a true party person, and that was one of the reasons he admired her. They danced on the floor as gracefully as an experienced painter paints

by Niccolò Ammaniti, Lorenzo, the fourteen years old boy is unable to care for people except his parents. From Lorenzo 's point of view, he camouflages among his peers to get through his life. Even though he claims that he is superior and unique than the others, deep down it is a lie that he tells himself to protect his self-esteem from the fact that he can not make friends as an outcast.

“How a partial biography could be harmful for a painter? Lorenzo Lotto’s peripatetic career in Vasari’s Lives” (I still need a better title) Why do we read Vasari’s Lives? Surely not for the historical accuracy of the data he provides us nor for his scientific approach to the artist’s biographies.
