     The book to read is not the one that thinks for you
     but the one which makes you think.

     One should only read books which bite and sting
     one. If the book we are reading does not wake us up
     with a blow to the head, what's the point in reading?
     A book must be the axe which smashes the frozen
     sea within us.

        Franz Kafka

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. …
