From a Kurt Vonnegut video interview (ca. 2002, part of an ad campaign for TIAA, the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association) by Michael Ward:
| Tonight, before you go to sleep, write a six-line poem. When you have made the poem as perfect as you can, tear it up and scatter the pieces through widely-separated trash receptacles – and you will discover that you got your full reward already, simply by the act of creating. |
