Kurt Vonnegut: “Practicing An Art, No Matter How Well Or Badly, Is A Way To Make Your Soul Grow”

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 possible can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.”
― Kurt Vonnegut (1922-2007), A Man Without a Country (His final work, published in 2005.)
