"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

"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."

It has been a real long time since I read it, but apparently #KurtVonnegut published Player Piano in 1952!

That's, like, *lots* of decades ago...

Good thing today's technology is actually solving all our problems, instead of just making new ones!
