When I think of mystery, I don't think about myself. I think of the universe, like why does the moon rise when the sun falls? Caterpillars turn into butterflies? I really haven't remained a recluse.
Bob Dylan
Image
It frightens me, the awful truth, of how sweet life can be.
Bob Dylan
Image
The Rolling Stones are truly the greatest rock and roll band in the world and always will be. The last too. Everything that came after them, metal, rap, punk, new wave, pop-rock, you name it... you can trace it all back to the Rolling Stones. They were the first and the last and no one's ever done it better.
Bob Dylan

Mama, put my guns in the ground, I can't shoot them anymore. That long black cloud is coming down.
Bob Dylan

The truth that I am seeking is in your missing file.
Bob Dylan

All I can do is be me, whoever that is.

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
As he weeps to wicked birds of prey, who pick up on his bread crumb sins, and there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden.
Bob Dylan
Image
I took her by the hand and my heart it was thumpin'. When she said, hey man, you crazy or somethin'?
Bob Dylan
Image
When you asked me how I was doing, was that some kind of joke
Bob Dylan
Image
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.
Bob Dylan
Image
An artist has got to be careful never really to arrive at a place where he thinks he's AT somewhere. You always have to realize that you're constantly in a state of becoming. And, as long as you can stay in that realm you'll sort of be alright.
Bob Dylan
Image
She took off her wheel, took off her bell, took off her wig, said, how do I smell? I hot footed it barenaked out the window.
Bob Dylan
Image
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
Image
I gotta friend who spends his life, stabbing my picture with a bowie knife. Dreams of strangling me with a scarf, when my name comes up he pretends to barf.
Bob Dylan
Image
His [Bob Dylan] humour was dry and splendid.

Image
You can't do something forever.
Bob Dylan
Image
Shedding off one more layer of skin, Keeping one step ahead of the persecutor within.
Bob Dylan
Image
Praise be to Nero's Neptune The Titanic sails at dawn And everybody's shouting Which Side Are You On? And Ezra Pound and T.S. Eliot Fighting in the captain's tower While calypso singers laugh at them And fishermen hold flowers.

As long as you give my friend Jonah Lehrer a free pizza, I'll write a song about your restaurant.
