Quote of the Week

"Participation in art is not simply one of many possible ways to make a living, an obsolete trade as we approach the year 2000. Participation in an art, at bottom has nothing to do with earning money. Participation in an art, although unrewarded by wealth and fame, and as the Middle West has encouraged so many of it's young people to discover for themselves so far, is a way to make one's soul grow."
~Kurt Vonnegut

So I did it. I finally joined Facebook. I feel like I've lost a piece of my soul . . . .

Quote of the Week

"If you want to really hurt your parents, and you don't have the nerve to be gay, the least you can do is go into the arts. I'm not kidding. The arts are no way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how 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
