EXPERIMENT YOUR LIFE
You
have a right to experiment with your life. You will make mistakes. And
they are right too. No, I think there was too rigid a pattern. You came
out of an education and are supposed to know your vocation. Your
vocation is fixed, and maybe ten years later you find you are not a
teacher anymore or you’re not a painter anymore. It may happen. It has
happened. I mean Gauguin decided at a certain point he wasn’t a banker
anymore; he was a painter. And so he walked away from banking. I think
we have a right to change course. But society is the one that keeps
demanding that we fit in and not disturb things. They would like you to
fit in right away so that things work now.
