More quotes by Bob Dylan
People call you this or that. But I can't respond because then it seems like I'm defensive, you know, what does it matter, really?
Bob Dylan
Well, I don't know, but I've been told the streets in heaven are lined with gold. I ask you how things could get much worse if the Russians happen to get up there first Wowee! pretty scary!
Bob Dylan
I like the fans, but I don't feel an obligation that I have to be an example to them, like say maybe a baseball player would, or a football player or maybe some other type of musicians. I don't feel I have to really set an example that somebody else has to live up to.
Bob Dylan
I don't call myself a poet, because I don't like the word.
Bob Dylan
Fortune or fame, you must pick one or the other, though neither of them are to be what they claim.
Bob Dylan
You must be vulnerable to be sensitive to reality. And to be vulnerable is just another way of saying that one has nothing more to lose. I don't have anything but darkness to lose.
Bob Dylan
The ghosts race towards the light, you can almost hear the heavy breathing spirits, all determined to get somewhere. New Orleans, unlike a lot of places you go back to and that don't have the magic anymore, still has got it. Night can swallow you up, yet none of it touches you. You can't see it, but you know it's here. Somebody's always sinking.
Bob Dylan
No reason to get excited,' the thief, he kindly spoke, There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke.
Bob Dylan
There used to be a time when the idea of heroes was important. People grew up sharing those myths and legends and ideals. Now they grow up sharing McDonalds and Disneyland.
Bob Dylan
Death to me means nothing as long as I can die fast.
Bob Dylan
There's been rumors of war and wars that have been The meaning of life has been lost in the wind And some people thinkin' that the end is close by 'Stead of learnin' to live they are learnin' to die
Bob Dylan
Walkin' through the leaves fallin' from the trees, Feelin' like a stranger nobody sees.
Bob Dylan
Popular music had never had lyrical sophistication of this type [like Bob Dylan] wit, to be sure, but Darkness at the break of noon/Shadows even the silver spoon/The handmade blade, the child's balloon/Eclipses both the sun and moon/To understand you know too soon/ There is no sense in trying? No.
Bob Dylan
My songs always sound a lot better in person than they do on the record.
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
You walk into the room like a camel and then put your eyes in your pockets and your nose on the ground.
Bob Dylan
You know, the streets are filled with vipers Who've lost all ray of hope You know, it ain't even safe no more In the palace of the Pope
Bob Dylan
You’re a cow Give me some milk Or else go home
Bob Dylan
Romance never does go out of fashion. It's radical. But it's out of step with the current media culture.
Bob Dylan
The only person you have to think about lying twice to is either yourself or to God. The press isn't either of them. And I just figured they're irrelevant.
Bob Dylan
