    Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
    “If you want to really hurt you 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 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, A Man Without a Country

    “Shouldn't someone give a pep talk or something?' Minho asked...
    "Go ahead," Newt replied.
    Minho nodded and faced the crowd. 'Be careful,' he said dryly. 'Don't die.'

    'Great. We're all bloody inspired,' Newt answered.”
