Bob Dylan
If I had wings, no one would ask me: should I fly?
Bob Dylan
I've always been the kind of person that doesn't like to trespass, but sometimes you just find yourself over the line.
Bob Dylan
I'm not a playwright. The people in my songs are all me.
Bob Dylan
Every nerve in my body is so vacant and numb/I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from/Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer/It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.
Bob Dylan
Tangled Up in Blue, shifts perspective several times during the song to tell a tangled version of [Bob] Dylan's marriage and dissolution.
Bob Dylan
...how many times must the cannon balls fly Before they're forever banned?
Bob Dylan
I love Country Music but what happened to it?
Bob Dylan
Your mind is a your temple, keep it beautiful and free. Don't let an egg get laid in it by something you can't see.
Bob Dylan
Well the book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy, the law of the jungle and the sea are your only teachers.
Bob Dylan
Most songs have bridges in them, to distract listeners from the main verses of a song so they don't get bored. My songs don't have a lot of bridges because lyric poetry never had them.
Bob Dylan
That's another way of writing a song, of course. Just talking to somebody that ain't there. That's the best way. That's the truest way. Then it just becomes a question of how heroic your speech is. To me, it's something to strive after.
Bob Dylan
They self-inflict punishment on their own broken lives, put their faith in their possessions, in their jobs, or their wives.
Bob Dylan
A record ... is a statement, it's its own statement, its own entity, rather than being about something else. If I was a painter ... I don't paint the chair, I would paint feelings about the chair.
Bob Dylan
Technology to wipe out truth is now available. Not everybody can afford it but it's available. When the cost comes down, look out!
Bob Dylan
... we're living in a Machiavellian world, whether we like it or we don't.
Bob Dylan
The cards are no good that your are holding unless you're from another world.
Bob Dylan
I'm a liberal to a degree, I want everybody to be free. But if you think that I'll let Barry Goldwater move in next door.
Bob Dylan
I never wanted to be a prophet or a saviour. Elvis maybe
