My quotation connects to my image because they are both referring to empty frames of glasses. The glasses in my image have no lenses, and in the quote, Vonnegut is referring to empty glasses frames too.
I found this quote to be rather intriguing, because it makes a statement about the reasons that people spend the money that they do. While eyeglasses are expensive, and are important for the basic need to see, people will spend large amounts of money for stylish frames. The style of the frames correlates directly to the wearer's appearance, meaning that someone purchasing glasses is willing to spend a lot of money to get a frame that makes them look good. In a way, this connects to my image, because when I was getting glasses, I was very focused on how I looked with the glasses on, and was concerned with getting the style of frames that made me look good.
You should say "I think it makes a statement..." because you missed the symbol here. I will ask a series of rhetorical questions to make it clear.

What might someone who wears glasses look through? Lenses...right? Now what holds those lenses in place, together, keeps them on your eyes, so that may you see the world through the lenses? The frame...right? So without the frame.. the lenses are nothing"

I THINK!(for we are not Vonnegut and we cannot know, but we can follow his suggestion and LOOK for CONTEXT).. I THINK through the frames: Vonneguts point here is that CONTEXT, frames, are crucial to how you INTERPRET the world.
Why do you think Vonnegut's characters are so often windows salesmen, glasses salesmen, etc. (<---CONTEXT)
...
He is a proponent, or a salesman rather, of frames, or CONTEXT rather.
Hope this helps
