More quotes by Bob Dylan
You don't necessarily have to write to be a poet. Some people work in gas stations and they're poets. I don't call myself a poet, because I don't like the word. I'm a trapeze artist.
Bob Dylan
I don't think there's enough guns.
Bob Dylan
Fortune or fame, you must pick one or the other, though neither of them are to be what they claim.
Bob Dylan
I made a bargain with him, the chief in a world we can't see. (devil)
Bob Dylan
Look, when I started out, mainstream culture was Sinatra, Perry Como, Andy Williams, Sound of Music. There was no fitting into it then and of course, there's no fitting into it now.
Bob Dylan
Love is all there is, it makes the world go around. Love and only love, it can't be denied.
Bob Dylan
She took off her wheel, took off her bell, took off her wig, said, how do I smell? I hot footed it barenaked out the window.
Bob Dylan
Watch waterfalls of pity roar, you feel to moan but unlike before, you discover that you'd just be one more person crying.
Bob Dylan
Along with some of the worst music of Bob Dylan's career (Self-Portrait, 1970), this period produced some gems - including many songs recorded with The Band in '67 but not released until years later.
Bob Dylan
There's enough songs for people to listen to, if they want to listen to songs. For every man, woman and child on earth, they could be sent, probaby, each of them, a hundred records, and never be repeated. There's enough songs. Unless someone's gonna come along with a pure heart and has something to say. That's a different story.
Bob Dylan
Up north, you could find these radio stations with no name on the dials that played pre-rock 'n' roll things - country blues. We would hear Slim Harpo or Lightnin' Slim and gospel groups, the Dixie Hummingbirds, the Five Blind Boys of Alabama. I was so far north, I didn't even know where Alabama was.
Bob Dylan
You better start swimming, or you'll sink like a stone. Because the Time's they are a-changing.
Bob Dylan
Nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street.
Bob Dylan
Your old road is rapidly aging. Please get out of the new one If you can't lend your hand, For the times they are a-changin'.
Bob Dylan
Proud to steal her anything she sees, but you will wind up peeking through her key hole down upon your knees.
Bob Dylan
Ring the bells for the blind and deaf.
Bob Dylan
I'm inconsistent, even to myself.
Bob Dylan
I need all kinds of songs - fast ones, slow ones, minor key, ballads, rumbas - and they all get juggled around during a live show. I've been trying for years to come up with songs that have the feeling of a Shakespearean drama, so I'm always starting with that.
Bob Dylan
I became interested in folk music because I had to make it somehow.
Bob Dylan
It takes a lot to laugh, it takes a train to cry
Bob Dylan
