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
Behind every beautiful thing, there's some kind of pain.
Bob Dylan
Socialism, hypnotism, patriotism, materialism, fools making laws for the breaking of jaws.
Bob Dylan
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken, I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children, And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
Bob Dylan
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
Money doesn't talk, it swears.
Bob Dylan
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
Music can save people, but it can't in the commercial way it's being used. It's just too much. It's pollution.
Bob Dylan
We're constantly being bombarded by insulting and humiliating music, which people are making for you the way they make those Wonder Bread products. Just as food can be bad for your system, music can be bad for your spiritual and emotional feelings. It might taste good or clever, but in the long run, it's not going to do anything for you.
Bob Dylan
I'm in love with my second cousin.
Bob Dylan
Broken bottles, broken plates, broken switches, broken gates. Broken dishes, broken parts, streets are filled with broken hearts.
Bob Dylan
When you're sad and when you're lonely and you haven't got a friend, just remember that death is not the end.
Bob Dylan
The executioner's face is always well hidden.
Bob Dylan
Death to me means nothing as long as I can die fast.
Bob Dylan
Mama, put my guns in the ground, I can't shoot them anymore. That long black cloud is coming down.
Bob Dylan
For the loser now Will be later to win
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
Everybody's wearing a disguise, to hide what they've got left behind their eyes.
Bob Dylan
Having hits buries a singer in the past. A lot of singers hide in the past because it's safer back there. If you've ever heard today's country music, you'll know what I'm talking about.
Bob Dylan
I ain't looking to compete with you, beat, or cheat, or mistreat you, simplify you, classify you, deny, defy, or crucify you. All I really want to do is, baby, be friends with you.
Bob Dylan
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
Bob Dylan
