That's another way of writing a song, of course. Just talking to somebody that ain't there. That's the best way. That's the truest way. Then it just becomes a question of how heroic your speech is. To me, it's something to strive after.
Bob Dylan

More quotes by Bob Dylan
All the tired horses in the sun How'm I supposed to get any ridin' done? Hmm.
Bob Dylan
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.
Bob Dylan
Fortune or fame, you must pick one or the other, though neither of them are to be what they claim.
Bob Dylan
Love is all there is, it makes the world go around. Love and only love, it can't be denied.
Bob Dylan
Watch waterfalls of pity roar, you feel to moan but unlike before, you discover that you'd just be one more person crying.
Bob Dylan
You always got to be prepared but you never know for what.
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
And it dawned on me that I might have to change my inner thought patterns... that I would have to start believing in possibilities that I wouldn't have allowed before, that I had been closing my creativity down to a very narrow, controllable scale... that things had become too familiar and I might have to disorientate myself. p.71
Bob Dylan
Half of the people can be part right all of the time, Some of the people can be all right part of the time. I think Abraham Lincoln said that. 'I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours,' I said that.
Bob Dylan
Good and bad, I define these terms, quite clear, no doubt, somehow.
Bob Dylan
An artist has got to be careful never really to arrive at a place where he thinks he's AT somewhere. You always have to realize that you're constantly in a state of becoming. And, as long as you can stay in that realm you'll sort of be alright.
Bob Dylan
God bless them pretty women, I wish they was mine, Their breath is as sweet, The dew on the vine.
Bob Dylan
I dug it, New York City, all-the streets and the snows and the starving and the five-flight walkups and sleeping in rooms with ten people. I dug the trains and the shadows, the way I dug ore mines and coal mines. I just jumped right to the bottom of New York.
Bob Dylan
You must be vulnerable to be sensitive to reality. And to be vulnerable is just another way of saying that one has nothing more to lose. I don't have anything but darkness to lose.
Bob Dylan
I believe that instinct is what makes a genius a genius.
Bob Dylan
Sometimes you get out from behind the wheel and let someone else step on the gas.
Bob Dylan
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)
Bob Dylan
I love Country Music but what happened to it?
Bob Dylan
May your heart always be joyful. May your song always be sung.
Bob Dylan
Life is sad, life is a bust, all you can do is do what you must.
Bob Dylan
