Quote

I've been up the mountain and I had a choice. Should I come down? So I came down. God said, Okay, you've been up on the mountain, now you go down. You're on your own, free. Check in later, but now you're on your own.

Lay down the song you strum, And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings No voice can hope to hum.
Bob Dylan
Image
How many years can some people exist before they're allowed to be free.
Bob Dylan
Image
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
Image
I kinda live where I find myself.
Bob Dylan
Image
I can't stand to see myself on television.
Bob Dylan
Image
I've never been able to understand the seriousness of it all, the seriousness of pride. People talk, act, live as if they're never going to die. And what do they leave behind? Nothing. Nothing but a mask.
Bob Dylan

Her profession's her religion, her sin is lifelessness.
Bob Dylan
Image
A noble truth is a sacred creed.
Bob Dylan
Image
The government's not going to create jobs. It doesn't have to. People have to create jobs.
Bob Dylan

You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you.
Bob Dylan

People are going to say, ‘Well, it’s not very truthful.’ But a songwriter doesn’t care about what’s truthful. What he cares about is what should’ve happened, what could’ve happened. That’s its own kind of truth. It’s like people who read Shakespeare plays, but they never see a Shakespeare play. I think they just use his name.

Each one of them suffering from the failures of their day, with strings of guilt they tried hard to guide us.
Bob Dylan
Image
How does it feel, how does it feel to be without a home, like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone.
Bob Dylan
Image
How can the life of such a man be in the palm of some fools hand?
Bob Dylan
Image
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
Look out your window, and I'll be gone. You're the reason I'm a-traveling on.
Bob Dylan
Image
My father probably thought the capital of the world was wherever he was at the time. It couldn't possibly be anyplace else. Where he and his wife were in their own home, that, for them, was the capital of the world.
Bob Dylan
Image
Crimson flames tied through my ears rolling high and mighty traps, pounced with fire on flaming roads using ideas as my maps.
Bob Dylan
Image
I don't need your organization, I've moved your mountains and I've marked you cards, but Eden is burning. You better get ready for elimination or else your hearts must have the courage of the changing of the guard.
Bob Dylan
Image
There's not even room enough to be anywhere/It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.../I was born here and I'll die here against my will/I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still.
Bob Dylan
