"Folk music was a reality of a more brilliant dimension. It exceeded all human understanding, and if it called out to you, you could disappear and be sucked into it. I felt right at home in this mythical realm made up not with individuals so much as archetypes, vivdly drawn archetypes of humanity, metaphysical in shape, each rugged soul filled with natural knowing and inner wisdom." -Bob Dylan what i find beautiful is that he could easily be talking about abstact painting.

"A song is like a dream, and you try to make it come true. They're like strange countries that you have to enter. You can write a song anywhere, in a railroad compartment, on a boat, on horseback -it helps to be moving. Sometimes people who have the greatest talent for writing songs never write any because they are not moving. I wasnt moving in any of these songs, not externally, anyway. Still, I got them all down as if I was. " -Bob Dylan

"A painter, who finds no satisfaction in mere representation, however artistic, in his longing to express his inner life, cannot but envy the ease with which music, the most non-material of the arts today, acheivs this end. He naturally seeks to apply the methods of music to his own art. And from this results that modern desire for rhythm in painting, for mathematical, abstract construction, for repeated notes of colour, for setting colour in motion." -Vassily Kandinsky
