Quote by Bob Dylan

No one is free, even the birds are chained to the sky.

No one is free, even the birds are chained to the sky.

Summary

This quote metaphorically suggests that freedom is an illusion, as even the most seemingly free creatures, like birds, are constrained by the limitations of their environment. It highlights the fact that everyone and everything is subject to some form of restriction or constraint, whether it be societal expectations, personal obligations, or natural limitations. It encourages a critical examination of the concept of freedom and challenges the notion that complete and absolute freedom truly exists.

A writer writes not because he is educated but because he is

A writer writes not because he is educated but because he is driven by the need to communicate. Behind the need to communicate is the need to share. Behind the need to share is the need to be understood. The writer wants to be understood much more than he wants to be respected or praised or even loved. And that perhaps, is what makes him different from others.
