Aretha with no goals, eternally single & one step soft of heaven/ let it be understood that she owns this melody along with her emotional diplomats & her earth & her musical secrets
Bob DylanRead
Strange how people who suffer together have stronger connections than those who are most content.
Interpretation
Shared suffering can create deeper bonds than shared happiness.
This quote by Bob Dylan highlights the idea that enduring hardships together fosters stronger connections between people than simply sharing moments of joy.

If I wasn't Bob Dylan, I'd probably think that Bob Dylan has a lot of answers myself.
Some formulas are too complex and I don't want anything to do with them.
I'm the oldest son of a crazy man, I'm in a cowboy band.
My songs are personal music, they're not communal. I wouldn't want people singing along with me. It would sound funny. I'm not playing campfire meetings. I don't remember anyone singing along with Elvis, Carl Perkins or Little Richard.
I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes. You'd know what a drag it is to see you.
The ear is the avenue to the heart.
When one person is struck by the Word, he speaks it to others. God has willed that we should seek and find His living Word in the witness of a brother, in the mouth of man. Therefore, the Christian needs another Christian who speaks God’s Word to him. The Christ in his own heart is weaker than the Christ in the word of his brother; his own heart is uncertain, his brother’s is sure.
The thing that's between us is fascination, and the fascination resides in our being alike. Whether you're a man or a woman, the fascination resides in finding out that we're alike.
We have failed to practise ourselves the kind of behaviour we expect from other people.
I don't care if you're black, white, short, tall, skinny, rich or poor. If you respect me I'll respect you
There used to be this real sense of community integrity in rock. It has really eroded. Everyone seems to be on their own now.
