  1. "The arts are not a way to make a living. They're 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."

    ~ Kurt Vonnegut

  6. "I've always regarded art as a sort of conversation. A novel is a conversation between the author and the reader. A painting is a conversation between the painter and the person who looks at the painting. A symphony is a conversation between the composer and the listener."

  29. A quotation from Kurt Vonnegut

    The most important thing I learned on Tralfamadore was that when a person dies he only appears to die. He is still very much alive in the past, so it is very silly for people to cry at his funeral. All moments, past, present and future, always have existed, always will exist. The Tralfamadorians can look at all the different moments just that way we can look at a stretch of the Rocky Mountains, for instance. They can see how permanent all the moments are, and they can look at any moment that interests them. It is just an illusion we have here on Earth that one moment follows another one, like beads on a string, and that once a moment is gone it is gone forever.

    Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (1922-2007) American novelist, journalist
    Slaughterhouse-Five, ch. 2 (1969)
