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
So happy just to be alive, Underneath the sky of blue, On this new morning, new morning, On this new morning with you.
Bob Dylan
Every nerve in my body is so vacant and numb/I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from/Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer/It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.
Bob Dylan
All that foreign oil controlling American soil.
Bob Dylan
The highlight of my career? That's easy, Elvis recording one of my songs.
Bob Dylan
If you like someone's work, the important thing is to be exposed to everything that person has been exposed to. Anyone who wants to be a songwriter should listen to as much folk music as they can, study the form and structure of stuff that has been around for 100 years.
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
What drives me to you, drives me insane.
Bob Dylan
Sailin' 'round the world in a dirty gondola Oh, to be back in the land of Coca-Cola!
Bob Dylan
You've got to lose your passion for dumbness.
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
Twenty years of schooling and they put you on the day shift - look out out kid, they keep it all hid
Bob Dylan
God got the power, man has got his vanity. Man gotta choose before God can set him free.
Bob Dylan
Beauty walks a razors edge, someday I'll make it mine.
Bob Dylan
She took off her wheel, took off her bell, took off her wig, said, how do I smell? I hot footed it barenaked out the window.
Bob Dylan
I've never written a political song. Songs can't save the world. I've gone through all that.
Bob Dylan
Sometimes you get out from behind the wheel and let someone else step on the gas.
Bob Dylan
People are crazy and times are strange ... I used to care but things have changed
Bob Dylan
There is nothing so stable as change.
Bob Dylan
Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow that it passes through.
Bob Dylan
The truth is far from you, so you know you got to lie. Then you're all the time defending what you can never justify.
Bob Dylan
