Is it more important to make a living or make a life? This treasured writer gives his take:
“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

Thanks for the share Jonathan!
Mr Vonnegut is often good for a quote. A great shame that he didn’t write more books.
Isn’t that the truth!
Vonnegut, wisdom in a creative package, genius…
Couldn’t agree more Lindy.
