Quit yer bawling

Posted by PJ under quote of the day, talent
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

 

“I bawled [my sister] out one time for not doing more with the talents she had. She replied that having talent doesn’t carry with it the obligation that something has to be done with it. This was startling news to me. I thought people were supposed to grab their talents and run as far and fast as they could.”

—Kurt Vonnegut, interview, The Paris Review, Issue 69, Spring 1977
