The arts are not a way of making 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, A Man Without a Country
