More quotes by Bob Dylan
They're selling postcards of the hanging.
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
Music attracts the angels in the universe.
Bob Dylan
Bent out of shape from society's pliers, cares not to come up any higher, but rather get you down in the hole that he's in.
Bob Dylan
Hold it, Doc, a world war passed through my brain. He said, Nurse, get your pad, this boy's insane.
Bob Dylan
Death to me means nothing as long as I can die fast.
Bob Dylan
All I can do is be me, whoever that is.
Bob Dylan
The executioner's face is always well hidden.
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
I'm determined to stand whether God will deliver me or not.
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 don't know, but I've been told the streets in heaven are lined with gold. I ask you how things could get much worse if the Russians happen to get up there first Wowee! pretty scary!
Bob Dylan
Jesus tapped me on the shoulder and said, Bob, why are you resisting me? I said, I'm not resisting you! He said, You gonna follow me? I said, I've never thought about that before! He said, When you're not following me, you're resisting me.
Bob Dylan
I felt like I might as well have been living in another part of the solar system.
Bob Dylan
I have tried my hand at bribery, blackmail, and deceit. And I've served time for everything, cept beggin on the street.
Bob Dylan
We shouldn't confuse singers and performers with actors. Actors will say, My character this, and my character that. Like beating a dead horse. Who cares about the character? Just get up and act. You don't have to explain it to me.
Bob Dylan
I find C major to be the key of strength, but also the key of regret. E major is the key of confidence. A-flat major is the key of renunciation.
Bob Dylan
I took her by the hand and my heart it was thumpin'. When she said, hey man, you crazy or somethin'?
Bob Dylan
In songs, you have to tell people about something they didn't see and weren't there for, and you have to do it as if you were.
Bob Dylan
The hollow horn plays wasted words, proves to warn that he not busy being born is busy dying.
Bob Dylan
