Accepting Quote by Sjon
![“[Bob Dylan] builds his lyrics, of course, from personal experience, but it's also a literary work. He draws heavily on his knowledge of American lyric tradition as well as European modernism. But he should let the Nobel Prize Committee know if he is accepting it or not.” quote by Sjon](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/c28/sjon-22692_accepting_bob-dylan-builds-his-lyrics-of-course-fr_224146.jpg)
