Quote

It rubs me the wrong way, a camera... It's a frightening thing...Cameras make ghosts out of people.

I'm determined to stand whether God will deliver me or not.
Bob Dylan
Image
I set my monkey on the log, and ordered him to do the Dog. He wagged his tail and shook his head, and he went and did the Cat instead.
Bob Dylan
Image
You can have your youth It'll rot before your eyes
Bob Dylan
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
With great lawyers you have discussed lepers and crooks, you've been through all of F. Scott Fitzgerald's books.
Bob Dylan
Image
The hollow horn plays wasted words, proves to warn that he not busy being born is busy dying.
Bob Dylan
Image
I said, you know they refused Jesus, too. He said, you're not him.
Bob Dylan
Image
I just don't hear anyone else making the music I'm making in my head, so I'll have to do it myself.
Bob Dylan
Image
People are going to say, ‘Well, it’s not very truthful.’ But a songwriter doesn’t care about what’s truthful. What he cares about is what should’ve happened, what could’ve happened. That’s its own kind of truth. It’s like people who read Shakespeare plays, but they never see a Shakespeare play. I think they just use his name.
Bob Dylan
Image
I believe that instinct is what makes a genius a genius.
Bob Dylan
Image
You'll never be greater than yourself.
Bob Dylan
Image
DESTINY is a feeling you have that you know something about yourself nobody else does. The picture you have in your own mind of what you're about WILL COME TRUE. It's a kind of a thing you kind of have to keep to your own self, because it's a fragile feeling, and you put it out there, then someone will kill it. It's best to keep that all inside.
Bob Dylan
Image
Colleges are like old-age homes, except for the fact that more people die in colleges.
Bob Dylan
Image
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
Image
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.

It ain't my cup of meat.
Bob Dylan
Image
Nothing can affect my voice, it's so bad.
Bob Dylan
Image
There's not even room enough to be anywhere/It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.../I was born here and I'll die here against my will/I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still.
Bob Dylan
