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.

More quotes by Bob Dylan
I come from way north. We'd listen to radio shows all the time. I think I was the last generation, or pretty close to the last one, that grew up without TV.
Bob Dylan
I forgot more than you'll ever know.
Bob Dylan
I'd been going though his trash. He knocked me down. I was glad to see him, even though he was banging my head against the sidewalk. Afterwards these bums come over and say, 'Did he get much money?' I say, 'Money'? That was Bob Dylan.
Bob Dylan
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.
Bob Dylan
You have to work out where your place is. And who you are. But we're all spirit. That's all we are, we're just walking dressed up in a suit of skin, and we're going to leave that behind.
Bob Dylan
Most songs have bridges in them, to distract listeners from the main verses of a song so they don't get bored. My songs don't have a lot of bridges because lyric poetry never had them.
Bob Dylan
Beauty walks a razors edge, someday I'll make it mine.
Bob Dylan
Sometimes you just have to bite your upper lip and put sunglasses on.
Bob Dylan
Really the truth is just a plain picture. A plain picture of, let's say, a tramp vomiting in the sewere. You know, and next door to the picture Mr. Rockefeller or Mr. C. W. Jones on the subway going to work. You know, any kind of picture. Just make a collage of pictures.
Bob Dylan
If ever asked to look at yourself, don't.
Bob Dylan
Music attracts the angels in the universe.
Bob Dylan
Abe said, where do you want this killing done? God said, out on highway 61.
Bob Dylan
I'll remember you. When I've forgotten all the rest.You to me were true. You to me were the best.
Bob Dylan
Money doesn't talk, it swears.
Bob Dylan
I didn't know whether to duck or to run, so I ran.
Bob Dylan
If I had wings, no one would ask me: should I fly?
Bob Dylan
Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
Bob Dylan
Come Senators, Congressman, please heed the call, don't stand in the doorway, don't block the hall.
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
The land created me. I'm wild and lonesome. Even as I travel the cities, I'm more at home in the vacant lots.
Bob Dylan
