Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can.

Kaye’s metaphor treats life as an artist’s canvas: something open, unfinished, and defined by what you dare to put on it. “Throw all the paint” urges exuberant participation—taking risks, trying many experiences, and resisting timidity or perfectionism. The image also implies that messiness is not failure but part of creating a vivid, personal composition. In a broader cultural sense, the line aligns with mid‑20th‑century popular humanism: a celebratory, accessible call to live fully, make bold choices, and value expressive individuality over cautious restraint.
