Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake.
In his darkly humorous writing style, author Kurt Vonnegut excelled at using satire to make a statement. Novels such as "Cat's Cradle" and "Slaughterhouse-Five" served as unabashed critiques of technology and war, though Vonnegut's honesty also extended to more lighthearted matters. This quote — which appeared in his 2005 memoir "A Man Without a Country" — encourages artistic creativity as a means to make "life more bearable." While acknowledging that life is often difficult, Vonnegut argues that artistic pursuits — the process, not simply the products — offer vital catharsis and gratification. Whether singing in the shower or writing a poem, the act of creating something original can enrich the soul and provide a deep sense of reward.
