She never stumbles, she's got no place to fall. She's nobody's child, the law can't touch her at all.
Bob Dylan

The ghosts race towards the light, you can almost hear the heavy breathing spirits, all determined to get somewhere. New Orleans, unlike a lot of places you go back to and that don't have the magic anymore, still has got it. Night can swallow you up, yet none of it touches you. You can't see it, but you know it's here. Somebody's always sinking.

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.

I’m in awe of McCartney. He’s about the only one that I am in awe of. He can do it all. And he’s never let up... He’s just so damn effortless.
Bob Dylan

Whatever colors you have in your mind, I'll show them to you and you'll see them shine.

I don't usually purge myself by writing anything about any type of quote, so-called, relationships.

Nothing is better, nothing is best, take heed of this and get plenty of rest.
Bob Dylan
