Quote

Anybody can be specific and obvious. That's always been the easy way. It's not that it's so difficult to be unspecific and less obvious it's just that there's nothing, absolutely nothing, to be specific and obvious about.

Someone handed me Mexico City Blues in St. Paul [Minnesota] in 1959 and it blew my mind. It was the first poetry that spoke my own language.
Bob Dylan

Sometimes you get out from behind the wheel and let someone else step on the gas.
Bob Dylan

Don't get up gentlemen. I'm only passing through!
Bob Dylan
Image
I'd been going though his trash. He knocked me down. I was glad to see him, even though he was banging my head against the sidewalk. Afterwards these bums come over and say, 'Did he get much money?' I say, 'Money'? That was Bob Dylan.

The more you act the further you get away from the truth.
Bob Dylan
Image
Inside the museum infinity goes up on trial. Voices echo, 'This is what salvation must be like after a while.' But Mona Lisa must have had the highway blues you can tell by the way she smiles.

People think that singing and playing is easy. It's not. It's easy to strum along, but if you actually want to really play, where it's important, that's a hard thing and not too many people are good at it.
Bob Dylan

I think I have a dualistic nature.
Bob Dylan
Image
Bullets can harm you and death can disarm you, but no, you will not be deceived. Stripped of all virtue as you crawl through the dirt, you can give but you cannot receive.
Bob Dylan
Image
I'm good with songs I haven't written, if I like them. I'm glad I didn't write any of them. I already know how they go, so I have more freedom with them. I understand these songs. I've known them for 40 years, 50 years, maybe longer, and they make a lot of sense. So I'm not coming to them like a stranger.

Inspiration is hard to come by. You have to take it where you find it.

I felt like I might as well have been living in another part of the solar system.

It takes a lot to laugh, it takes a train to cry

If you choose to live outside the law, you must obey the law more stringently than anyone.
Bob Dylan

your problem is that wanna better word for world
Bob Dylan

You hear a lot about God these days: God, the beneficent God, the all-great God, the Almighty God, the most powerful God, the giver of life God, the creator of death. I mean, we're hearing about God all the time, so we better learn how to deal with it. But if we know anything about God, God is arbitrary.
Bob Dylan

On the stone that remains carved next to his name, his epitaph plain, only a pawn in their game.
Bob Dylan
Image
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.

The truth was obscure, Too profound and too pure, To live it you had to explode

Well now what's the use in dreamin' You got better things to do Dreams never did work for me anyway Even when they did come true
