George Saunders, for example, riffs on the “failures of kindness” of his youth, encouraging grads to be kinder.

Some may respond to Neil Gaiman's “make good art” speech, while others may prefer John Waters's call to arms to horrify and outrage others with their art. Which of these affirmations will you choose? \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEach quote is accompanied by a short bio of the speaker and stamped with the year and institution where the commencement speech was delivered. With advice from the likes of Abby Wambach, Angela Davis, David Foster Wallace, Oprah Winfrey, Spike Lee, and more, readers will be swept away by the wit and wisdom contained in this book—perfect for graduates, creative thinkers, or anyone seeking inspiration.\" \u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"clarkson potter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47822948270376,"sku":"","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8808\/7124\/files\/61Jp7C-Gw3L._SY466.jpg?v=1710447791","url":"https:\/\/shop.riverandroad.com\/products\/carpe-every-diem","provider":"river + road","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
