“Among the things Billy Pilgrim could not change were the past, the present, and the future.”

“Billy had a framed prayer on his office wall which expressed his method for keeping going, even though he was unenthusiastic about living. A lot of patients who saw the prayer on Billy’s wall told him that it helped them to keep going, too. It went like this: “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom always to tell the difference.” Among the things Billy Pilgrim could not change were the past, the present, and the future.”

“Billy Pilgrim, there in the creekbed, thought he, Billy Pilgrim, was turning to steam painlessly.”

“Entre las cosas que Billy Pilgrim no podía cambiar se encontraban el pasado, el presente y el futuro.”

“Billy Pilgrim has become unstuck in time.”

“Listen: Billy Pilgrim has come unstuck in time.”

“All moments, past, present and future, always have existed, always will exist.”
