Bob Dylan

I accept chaos, I’m not sure whether it accepts me.

You learn from a conglomeration of the incredible past — whatever experience gotten in any way whatsoever.

I say there’re no depressed words just depressed minds.

You learn from a conglomeration of the incredible past – whatever experience gotten in any way whatsoever.

Wagon Train was on. It seemed to be beaming in from some foreign country. I shut that off, too, and went into another room, a windowless one with a painted door – a dark cavern with a floor-to-ceiling library. I switched on the lamps. The place had an overpowering presence of literature and you couldn’t help but lose your passion for dumbness.

I think a poet is anybody who wouldn’t call himself a poet.

The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.

I’ve always felt that a lot of modern art is a con, and that the most successful painters are often better salesmen and promoters than they are artists.

I think of art as the highest level of creativity. To me, it is one of the greatest sources of enjoyment.

Creative Arts raise a person to another level of consciousness as if you could imagine life before words.

We’re here to bring beauty to the world and make a difference on this planet. That’s what art forms are about.

Art is constant tension and release. That is where artists live, between the two or at times, submerged in either.

Make the best of every moment. We’re not evolving. We’re not going anywhere.

I don’t know where I’m going from here, but I promise it won’t be boring.

I’m just an individual who doesn’t feel that I need to have somebody qualify my work in any particular way. I’m working for me.

Go a little bit out of your depth. And when you don’t feel that your feet are quite touching the bottom, you’re just about in the right place to do something exciting.

Without art, the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable.

There is nothing new… everything has roots in the past.

Artists are people driven by the tension between the desire to communicate and the desire to hide.

The role of a museum of modern art is to make a good selection and identify what we believe to be the coming movements, and that requires taste.

Have no fear of perfection. You’ll never reach it.
