More quotes by Bob Dylan
People disagreeing everywhere you look makes you wanna stop and read a book.
Bob Dylan
I don't usually purge myself by writing anything about any type of quote, so-called, relationships.
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
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
Well I'm living in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line. Beauty walks a razor's edge...someday I'll make it mine.
Bob Dylan
How many roads must a man walk down Before your can call him a man? . . . The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind, The answer is blowin' in the wind.
Bob Dylan
If you're not busy being born, you're busy dying.
Bob Dylan
...how many times must the cannon balls fly Before they're forever banned?
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
The confessional singer-songwriter movement of the 1970s was in full swing, and Bob Dylan's emotional album [ Blood on the Tracks] resonated with the times. There would be other hits, but never the same alchemy of emotion and time.
Bob Dylan
Love is all there is, it makes the world go 'round Love and only love, it can't be denied No matter what you think about it You just won't be able to do without it Take a tip from one who's tried
Bob Dylan
I don't call myself a poet, because I don't like the word.
Bob Dylan
If I had rubies, riches, and crowns, I'd buy the whole world and change things around.
Bob Dylan
Some times I think this whole world Is one big prison yeard Some of us are prisoners The rest of us are guards
Bob Dylan
I wanted to understand things and then be free of them. I needed to learn how to telescope things, ideas. Things were too big to see all at once, like all the books in the library-everything laying around on all the tables. You might be able to put it all into one paragraph or into one verse of a song if you could get it right.
Bob Dylan
My songs are personal music, they're not communal. I wouldn't want people singing along with me. It would sound funny. I'm not playing campfire meetings. I don't remember anyone singing along with Elvis, Carl Perkins or Little Richard.
Bob Dylan
Music attracts the angels in the universe.
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
DESTINY is a feeling you have that you know something about yourself nobody else does. The picture you have in your own mind of what you're about WILL COME TRUE. It's a kind of a thing you kind of have to keep to your own self, because it's a fragile feeling, and you put it out there, then someone will kill it. It's best to keep that all inside.
Bob Dylan
My songs were influenced not so much by poetry on the page but by poetry being recited by the poets who recited poems with jazz bands.
Bob Dylan
