Freedom just around the corner for you, but with the truth so far off, what good will it do?
Bob Dylan
Image
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

The more you act the further you get away from the truth.
Bob Dylan

I’m in awe of McCartney. He’s about the only one that I am in awe of. He can do it all. And he’s never let up... He’s just so damn effortless.
Bob Dylan
Image
There doesn't seem to be any tomorrow. Every time I wake up, no matter in what position, it's always been today.
Bob Dylan
Image
Having hits buries a singer in the past. A lot of singers hide in the past because it's safer back there. If you've ever heard today's country music, you'll know what I'm talking about.
Bob Dylan
Image
Colleges are like old-age homes, except for the fact that more people die in colleges.
Bob Dylan
Image
You can't be wise and in love at the same time.
Bob Dylan

Socialism, hypnotism, patriotism, materialism, fools making laws for the breaking of jaws.
Bob Dylan
Image
Well the book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy, the law of the jungle and the sea are your only teachers.
Bob Dylan
Image
Trying to create a next world war, he found a promoter who nearly fell off the floor, he said I never engaged in this kind of thing before, but yes I think it can be very easily done.

I do know what my songs are about.
