Vonnegut Quote



I'm not sure how many of you have seen this quote--maybe lots of you, for all I know. But it was new to me, and I thought it was worth passing along, since y'all are probably the most creative, wacky bunch of people I know. Maybe it'll prove to be a renewed source of inspiration or purpose.

“...go into the arts. I'm not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.” Kurt Vonnegut
