Kurt Vonnegut on making your soul grow: Quotes for Writers (and people who like quotes)

Perfect timing! I’ve just spent much of the day organizing my poetry for a for a book I plan to title, ‘Glimpses.” I have another long day of it to go tomorrow to get a rough draft ready for my editor, and was about to sign off for the day when I saw this post and quote. It’s a great way to close the the day.

With Love,
Russ

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
