Kurt Vonnegut in a letter to high school students:
Practice any art, music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction, essays, reportage, no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what's inside you, to make your soul grow.
You can hear James Earl Jones read the entire letter here.
