With your silhouette when the sunlight dims Into your eyes where the moonlight swims, And your match-book songs and your gypsy hymns, Who among them would try to impress you? -Bob Dylan, Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands” (1966)

More quotes by Bob Dylan
When the deeds that you do don't add up to zero.
Bob Dylan
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
You have to work out where your place is. And who you are. But we're all spirit. That's all we are, we're just walking dressed up in a suit of skin, and we're going to leave that behind.
Bob Dylan
I come from way north. We'd listen to radio shows all the time. I think I was the last generation, or pretty close to the last one, that grew up without TV.
Bob Dylan
Can you please crawl out your window? Use your arms and your legs, it won't ruin you
Bob Dylan
There's enough songs for people to listen to, if they want to listen to songs. For every man, woman and child on earth, they could be sent, probaby, each of them, a hundred records, and never be repeated. There's enough songs. Unless someone's gonna come along with a pure heart and has something to say. That's a different story.
Bob Dylan
I gaze into the doorway of temptation's angry flame And every time I pass that way I always hear my name
Bob Dylan
The song was there before me, before I came along. I just sorta came down and just sorta took it down with a pencil, but it was there before I came around.
Bob Dylan
Don't Ask Me Nothing About Nothing, I Just Might Tell You the Truth
Bob Dylan
The Duke [John Wayne] was a massive figure. He looked like a heavy piece of hauled lumber, and it didn't seem like any man could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
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
Really the truth is just a plain picture. A plain picture of, let's say, a tramp vomiting in the sewere. You know, and next door to the picture Mr. Rockefeller or Mr. C. W. Jones on the subway going to work. You know, any kind of picture. Just make a collage of pictures.
Bob Dylan
Inspiration is hard to come by. You have to take it where you find it.
Bob Dylan
Your old road is rapidly aging. Please get out of the new one If you can't lend your hand, For the times they are a-changin'.
Bob Dylan
Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting If I could hear his heart softly pounding Yes, and only if he was lying by me Would I lie in my bed once again.
Bob Dylan
... we're living in a Machiavellian world, whether we like it or we don't.
Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan wrote in his elliptical memoir, Chronicles: Volume One, he was washed up in the 1980s, no longer a commercial success, and no longer putting out good work.
Bob Dylan
If you don't believe there's a price for this sweet paradise, just remind me to show you the scars.
Bob Dylan
You always got to be prepared but you never know for what.
Bob Dylan
The radio makes hideous sounds.
Bob Dylan
