"but for the desire to preserve our own humanity."

From the prologue to 'Mother Night', Vonnegut's novel about an American broadcaster recruited by American intelligence services to take a job as a racist Nazi radio broadcaster (& then help the Allies by embedding coded information about the Germans in his broadcasts):

"We are what we pretend to be... therefore we must be careful what we pretend to be."
