More quotes by Bob Dylan
So, I don't know. I think so. It's all in the heart, whatever keeps you that way. Keeps you forever young. Forever young doesn't necessarily mean that you don't grow old, but you just have some contact with what put you where you are. You know, keep some type of contact. Anyway...
Bob Dylan
After a while you earn that privacy is something you can sell, but you can't buy it back.
Bob Dylan
When you're sad and when you're lonely and you haven't got a friend, just remember that death is not the end.
Bob Dylan
You know what they say about bein' nice to the right people on the way up Sooner or later you gonna meet them comin' down
Bob Dylan
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
Every day is the same thing out the door Feel further away then ever before Some things in life, it gets too late to learn Well, I'm lost somewhere I must have made a few bad turns
Bob Dylan
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.
Bob Dylan
I just don't hear anyone else making the music I'm making in my head, so I'll have to do it myself.
Bob Dylan
In this ocean of hours I'm all the time drinking.
Bob Dylan
You don't necessarily have to write to be a poet. Some people work in gas stations and they're poets. I don't call myself a poet, because I don't like the word. I'm a trapeze artist.
Bob Dylan
...don't criticize what you can't understand, your sons and your daughters are beyond your command.
Bob Dylan
Shakespeare's last play was called The Tempest. It wasn't called just plain Tempest. The name of my record is just plain Tempest. It's two different titles.
Bob Dylan
A song is like a dream, and you try to make it come true. They're like strange countries that you have to enter.
Bob Dylan
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you.
Bob Dylan
Nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street.
Bob Dylan
Socialism, hypnotism, patriotism, materialism, fools making laws for the breaking of jaws.
Bob Dylan
I thought that he was righteous, but he's vain. Oh, somethings a telling me I wear the ball and chain.
Bob Dylan
Along with some of the worst music of Bob Dylan's career (Self-Portrait, 1970), this period produced some gems - including many songs recorded with The Band in '67 but not released until years later.
Bob Dylan
Every writer at the New Yorker is smarter than me.
Bob Dylan
I've never gone for having a great voice, for cultivating one. I'm still not doing it now.
Bob Dylan
