There was a wonderful article in the New York Times this weekend with excerpts from various graduation speeches that were delivered this season, titled Familiar Faces Offer Advice, Idealism and Humor.
MR. GAIMAN “Things go wrong, in life and in love and in business and in friendship and in health and in all the other ways that life can go wrong. And when things get tough, this is what you should do: make good art. I’m serious. Husband runs off with a politician? Make good art. Leg crushed and then eaten by mutated boa constrictor? Make good art. I.R.S. on your trail? Make good art. Cat exploded? Make good art. Somebody on the Internet thinks what you do is stupid or evil, or it’s all been done before? Make good art.”
soooooooo, go ahead and make some good art this summer!
