Galapagos

As Mary delivered what was to be her last lecture about the Galapagos Islands, though, she would be stopped in mid-sentence for five seconds by a doubt which, if expressed in words, might have come out something like this: "Maybe I'm just a crazy lady who has wandered off the street and into this classroom and started explaining the mysteries of life to these young people. And they believe me, although I am utterly mistaken about simply everything."

-Kurt Vonnegut, Galapagos, pg. 42
