- And George, while his intelligence was way above normal, had a little mental handicap radio in his ear
- Hazel had a perfectly average intelligence, which meant she couldn't think about anything except in short bursts.

- I am the Emperor! cried Harrison. Do you hear? I am the Emperor! Everybody must do what I say at once! He stamped his foot and the studio shook.

- In my understanding, Kurt Vonnegut wrote this short story to portray the absurdity and detrimental effects of conformity. The story highlights how suppressing one's natural abilities and uniqueness can lead to a dull and unfulfilling life. Through the selected scenes, it becomes evident that the government's attempt to enforce complete equality and sameness only serves to stifle individuality and creativity. The protagonist, Harrison, rebels against this system as he believes that true fairness lies in allowing people to express themselves freely. The story thus warns against the dangers of rigid conformity and how it can provoke dissent and chaos.
