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. .Anonymous

I think we have a right to change course” was said by Pablo Picasso in his autobiography " Picasso: A Life .” In the book, Picasso speaks about how after being taught to follow a strict path in life, he left his job as a bank clerk to become a painter. He also spoke about how society was trying to keep him from leaving that path and experimenting with art as he wished, but as artists we must be free to try something new without fear of failure, rejection, or punishment from others.
