More quotes by Bob Dylan
When you got nothing, you got nothin' to lose You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
Bob Dylan
Seven shots ring out like the ocean's pounding roar, there's seven people dead on a South Dakota farm.
Bob Dylan
Look, you know i don't wanna come on ungrateful, but that warren report, you know as well as me, just didn't make it. You know, like they might as well have asked some banana salesman from des moines, who was up in toronto on the big day, if he saw anyone around looking suspicious/.
Bob Dylan
People disagreeing everywhere you look makes you wanna stop and read a book.
Bob Dylan
His [Bob Dylan] humour was dry and splendid.
Bob Dylan
Some things are too terrible to be true.
Bob Dylan
The world of research has gone berserk. Too much paper work.
Bob Dylan
When somethin's not right it's wrong.
Bob Dylan
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
People have different emotional levels. Especially when you're young. Back then I guess most of my influences could be thought of as eccentric. Mass media had no overwhelming reach so I was drawn to the traveling performers passing through.
Bob Dylan
I play these [folk acoustic] concerts and I ask myself, 'Would you come see me tonight?' - and I'd have to answer truthfully, 'No, I wouldn't come. I'd rather be doin' something else, really I would. That something else is rock... The words are pictures, and the rock's gonna help me flesh out the colors of the pictures. (1965)
Bob Dylan
You better start swimming, or you'll sink like a stone. Because the Time's they are a-changing.
Bob Dylan
Everybody knows by now that there's a gazillion books on me either out or coming out in the near future. So I'm encouraging anybody who's ever met me, heard me or even seen me, to get in on the action and scribble their own book. You never know, somebody might have a great book in them.
Bob Dylan
He hands you a nickel, he hands you a dime. He asks you with a grin, if you're having a good time.
Bob Dylan
I'm more of an adventurous type than a relationship type.
Bob Dylan
Everybody has their own idea of what's a poet. Robert Frost, President Johnson, T.S.Eliot, Rudolf Valentino - they're all poets. I like to think of myself as the one who carries the light bulb.
Bob Dylan
I really don't like to hurt myself. I have a good understanding with all the women who have been in my life, whether I see them occasionally or not.
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
Let me drink from the waters where the mountain streams flood Let the smell of wildflowers flow free through my blood Let me sleep in your meadows with the green grassy leaves Let me walk down the highway with my brother in peace Let me die in my footsteps Before I go down under the ground.
Bob Dylan
You were born with a snake in both of your fists while a hurricane was blowing.
Bob Dylan
