Robert Allen Zimmerman, famously known as Bob Dylan turns 80 today! The genius artist that we all grew up listening to has not only won several awards for his music, he has also won the Nobel Prize in Literature for creating new poetic expressions within the great American Song Tradition. On his birthday, we remember 10 of his quotes that we have all vibed with at one point or another.

1. Some people feel the rain, others just get wet.

2. Take care of all your memories. For you cannot relive them.

3. What’s money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do.

4. He not busy being born is busy dying.

5. People seldom do what they believe in. They do what is convenient, then repent.

6. You’re going to die. You’re going to be dead. It could be 20 years, it could be tomorrow, anytime. So am I. I mean, we’re just going to be gone. The world’s going to go on without us. All right now. You do your job in the face of that, and how seriously you take yourself you decide for yourself.

7. Don’t criticize what you can’t understand.

8. All I can be is me- whoever that is.

9. DESTINY is a feeling you have that you know something about yourself nobody else does. The picture you have in your own mind of what you’re about WILL COME TRUE. It’s a kind of a thing you kind of have to keep to your own self, because it’s a fragile feeling, and you put it out there, then someone will kill it. It’s best to keep that all inside.

10. May your heart always be joyful. May your song always be sung.
