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
Romance never does go out of fashion. It's radical. But it's out of step with the current media culture.
Bob Dylan
Keep a good head and always carry a light bulb.
Bob Dylan
There must be some kind of way out of here,' said the joker to the thief.
Bob Dylan
..When I first heard Elvis' voice, I knew that I wasn't going to work for anybody ... hearing him for the first time was like busting out of jail
Bob Dylan
You're better than no one and no one is better than you.
Bob Dylan
I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul.
Bob Dylan
Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship.
Bob Dylan
I was down in the sewer with some little lover.
Bob Dylan
You’re a cow Give me some milk Or else go home
Bob Dylan
I don't think the human mind can comprehend the past and the future. They are both just illusions that can manipulate you into thinking there's some kind of change.
Bob Dylan
Abe said, where do you want this killing done? God said, out on highway 61.
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
Look, when I started out, mainstream culture was Sinatra, Perry Como, Andy Williams, Sound of Music. There was no fitting into it then and of course, there's no fitting into it now.
Bob Dylan
Folk music is a bunch of fat people.
Bob Dylan
I can't see my reflection in the waters, I can't speak the sounds that show no pain. I can't hear the echo of my footsteps, or can't remember the sound of my own name.
Bob Dylan
Someone handed me Mexico City Blues in St. Paul [Minnesota] in 1959 and it blew my mind. It was the first poetry that spoke my own language.
Bob Dylan
Advertising signs: they con you into thinking you're the one That can do what's never been done That can win what's never been won Meantime life outside goes on all around you
Bob Dylan
I'm just glad to be feeling better. I really thought I'd be seeing Elvis soon.
Bob Dylan
I wanted to understand things and then be free of them. I needed to learn how to telescope things, ideas. Things were too big to see all at once, like all the books in the library-everything laying around on all the tables. You might be able to put it all into one paragraph or into one verse of a song if you could get it right.
Bob Dylan
He's hell bent for destruction, he's afraid and confused, and his brain has been mismanaged with great skill.
Bob Dylan
