More quotes by Bob Dylan
All I can do is be me, whoever that is.
Bob Dylan
The more you act the further you get away from the truth.
Bob Dylan
You been down to the bottom with a bad man, babe But you're back were you belong
Bob Dylan
We're living in times where men commit crimes and crime don't have a face.
Bob Dylan
Dead man, dead man When will you arise? Cobwebs in your mind Dust upon your eyes
Bob Dylan
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken, I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children, And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
Bob Dylan
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
Bob Dylan
Once I went into songwriting, I figured I had to - I couldn't be a hellfire rock 'n' roller. But I could write hellfire lyrics.
Bob Dylan
I really don't like to hurt myself. I have a good understanding with all the women who have been in my life, whether I see them occasionally or not.
Bob Dylan
Some of the old folk singers used to phrase things in an interesting way, and then, I got my style from seeing a lot of outdoor-type poets, who would recite their poetry. When you don't have a guitar, you recite things differently, and there used to be quite a few poets in the jazz clubs, who would recite with a different type of attitude.
Bob Dylan
The best songs are the songs you write that you don't know anything about. They're an escape.
Bob Dylan
I don't need your organization, I've moved your mountains and I've marked you cards, but Eden is burning. You better get ready for elimination or else your hearts must have the courage of the changing of the guard.
Bob Dylan
I'm sittin' on my watch so I can be on time.
Bob Dylan
Your mind is a your temple, keep it beautiful and free. Don't let an egg get laid in it by something you can't see.
Bob Dylan
You five and ten cent women with nothing in your heads, I got a real gal I'm loving and Lord I'll love her 'til I'm dead.
Bob Dylan
The truth was obscure, Too profound and too pure, To live it you had to explode
Bob Dylan
I'm in love with my second cousin.
Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan wrote in his elliptical memoir, Chronicles: Volume One, he was washed up in the 1980s, no longer a commercial success, and no longer putting out good work.
Bob Dylan
A lot of people can't stand touring but to me it's like breathing. I do it because I'm driven to do it.
Bob Dylan
I find C major to be the key of strength, but also the key of regret. E major is the key of confidence. A-flat major is the key of renunciation.
Bob Dylan
