Musings of a Down and Out Artist

‘I have no money, no resources, no hopes. I am the happiest man alive.’ – Henry Miller

Bob Dylan

“I’ve never been able to understand the seriousness of it all, the
seriousness of pride. People talk, act, live as if they’re never going
to die. And what do they leave behind? Nothing. Nothing but a
mask.”

“At least in the 1960s it seemed there was room to be different.
For me, my particular scene, I came along at just the right time,
and I understood the times I was in. If I was starting out right now I
don’t know where I’d get the inspiration from, because you need
to breathe the right air to make the creative process work. I don’t
worry about it so much for me; I’ve done it; I can’t complain. But
the people coming up, the artists and writers, what are they
gonna do, because these are the people who change the world.”

-Bob Dylan
