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.

More quotes by 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
We're living in times where men commit crimes and crime don't have a face.
Bob Dylan
Maybe in the 90s or possibly in the next century people will look upon the 80s as the age of masturbation, when it was taken to the limit that might be all that's going on right now in a big way.
Bob Dylan
Well, I don't know, but I've been told the streets in heaven are lined with gold. I ask you how things could get much worse if the Russians happen to get up there first Wowee! pretty scary!
Bob Dylan
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
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
If you want to keep your memories, you first have to live them.
Bob Dylan
I'm good with songs I haven't written, if I like them. I'm glad I didn't write any of them. I already know how they go, so I have more freedom with them. I understand these songs. I've known them for 40 years, 50 years, maybe longer, and they make a lot of sense. So I'm not coming to them like a stranger.
Bob Dylan
I didn't come out of a cereal box.
Bob Dylan
There's danger in this open world where men strive to be free, and to me the greatest danger was in society.
Bob Dylan
Good and bad, I define these terms, quite clear, no doubt, somehow.
Bob Dylan
Once I went into songwriting, I figured I had to - I couldn't be a hellfire rock 'n' roller. But I could write hellfire lyrics.
Bob Dylan
Just a reminder, if you tell anyone about what happened with Jonah last night, I'll destroy all of my writing and never play music again.
Bob Dylan
The radio makes hideous sounds.
Bob Dylan
Loneliness, tenderness, high society, notoriety, you fight for the throne and you travel alone.
Bob Dylan
People's lives are filled with vice and the trappings of it. Ambition, greed and selfishness all have to do with vice. Sooner or later, you have to see through it or you don't survive.
Bob Dylan
There must be some kind of way out of here,' said the joker to the thief.
Bob Dylan
Sometimes you get out from behind the wheel and let someone else step on the gas.
Bob Dylan
Now, each of us has his own special gift And you know this was meant to be true. And if you don't underestimate me I won't underestimate you.
Bob Dylan
How can the life of such a man be in the palm of some fools hand?
Bob Dylan
