"So it goes." (pg. 92)
Throughout the book, Vonnegut has used the phrase "so it goes" as a motif. He uses it after every time death is mentioned. He is trying to get a point across in doing this. He is saying that death is a way of life in war. People and things die all the time around you in war. With the phrase "so it goes," he is pointing out everytime he experienced death, which is a lot. Also, he is saying that death is inevitable. "So it goes" can be seen as him saying something like "life goes on" meaning that people will die, but you have to move on from that until it is your time to pass.
