I felt like I might as well have been living in another part of the solar system.
Bob Dylan
Image
Popular music had never had lyrical sophistication of this type [like Bob Dylan] wit, to be sure, but Darkness at the break of noon/Shadows even the silver spoon/The handmade blade, the child's balloon/Eclipses both the sun and moon/To understand you know too soon/ There is no sense in trying? No.
Bob Dylan

If I lived my life by what others were thinkin', the heart inside me would've died.

You’re a cow Give me some milk Or else go home

She makes love just like a woman.
Bob Dylan
Image
Broken bottles, broken plates, broken switches, broken gates. Broken dishes, broken parts, streets are filled with broken hearts.
Bob Dylan
Image
She speaks with a stutter and she and she walks with a hop. I don't know why I love her, but I just can't stop.
Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan
Image
Just because you like my stuff doesn't mean I owe you anything.
Bob Dylan
Image
How many a year has passed and gone and many gamble has been lost and won, and many a road taken by a friend and each one I've never seen again.
Bob Dylan
Image
Yesterday is just a memory.
Bob Dylan
Image
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
Image
I need all kinds of songs - fast ones, slow ones, minor key, ballads, rumbas - and they all get juggled around during a live show. I've been trying for years to come up with songs that have the feeling of a Shakespearean drama, so I'm always starting with that.
Bob Dylan
Image
Let me drink from the waters where the mountain streams flood Let the smell of wildflowers flow free through my blood Let me sleep in your meadows with the green grassy leaves Let me walk down the highway with my brother in peace Let me die in my footsteps Before I go down under the ground.
Bob Dylan
Image
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
