Words of Vonnegut

“…the most valuable thing you can get from an education is this – the memory of one person who could really teach, who’s lessons made life and yourselves much more interesting and fuller of possibilities than you had previously supposed possible.”

“”What is it artists do?” And I mumbled something. “They do two things,” he said. “First, they admit they can’t straighten out the whole universe. And then second, they make at least one little part of it exactly as it should be. A blob of clay, a square of canvas, a piece of paper, or whatever.””
(Speaking about the teacher that influences him the most.)
