A man is a success if he gets up in the morning… — Bob Dylan | Printable Wall Art

Words by Bob Dylan (1941-) — Singer-songwriter and Nobel laureate in Literature.

About this quote

This quote redefines personal achievement away from traditional measures like wealth, fame, or status. Instead, Bob Dylan frames true success as autonomy and daily fulfilment. Being able to choose how one spends one's time between waking and sleeping represents the ultimate freedom. It suggests that living authentically according to your own desires is far more meaningful than meeting external expectations.

Bob Dylan made this comment during an interview in 1965, a period when his career was expanding rapidly. It reflects his lifelong commitment to artistic independence and personal freedom over commercial demands.

People often hang this in a home office or creative studio as a daily reminder to prioritise personal freedom.
