Quote

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.

Technology is mechanical and contrary to the emotions that inform a person's life. The country music field has especially been hit hard by this. All my songs have been written by people who went out of fashion years ago. Just like da Vinci and Renoir and van Gogh. Nobody paints like that anymore. But it can't be wrong to try.
Bob Dylan
Image
So happy just to be alive, Underneath the sky of blue, On this new morning, new morning, On this new morning with you.
Bob Dylan

She's a hypnotist collector you are a walking antique.
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
Image
Suddenly I found you and the spirit in me sings, Don't have to look no further, You're the soul of many things.
Bob Dylan
Image
Creativity has much to do with experience, observation and imagination, and if any one of those key elements is missing, it doesn't work.
Bob Dylan
Image
The government's not going to create jobs. It doesn't have to. People have to create jobs.
Bob Dylan
Image
May you grow up to be righteous, may you grow up to be true. May you always know the truth and see the lights surrounding you. May you always be courageous, stand upright and be strong. May you stay forever young.
Bob Dylan
Image
Bullets can harm you and death can disarm you, but no, you will not be deceived. Stripped of all virtue as you crawl through the dirt, you can give but you cannot receive.
Bob Dylan

Oh, God said to Abraham, Kill me a son Abe said, Man, you must be puttin' me on God said, No Abe say, What? God say, You can do what you want, Abe, but The next time you see me comin', you better run Well, Abe said, Where d'you want this killin' done? God said, Out on Highway 61.
