People think they know me from my songs. But my repertoire of songs is so wide-ranging that you'd have to be a madman to figure out the characteristics of the person who wrote all those songs.
Bob Dylan
Image
Well the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount, But nothing really matters much it's doom alone that counts.
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
Every step of the way we walk the line Your days are numbered, so are mine Time is pilin' up, we struggle and we scrape We're all boxed in, nowhere to escape
Bob Dylan
Image
Crimson flames tied through my ears rolling high and mighty traps, pounced with fire on flaming roads using ideas as my maps.
Bob Dylan
Image
It's like going out to the desert and screaming and then having little kids throw their sandbox at you. I'm only 24.
Bob Dylan
Image
Obscenity, who really cares. Propaganda, all is phony.
Bob Dylan
Image
I always thought the best kind of sunglasses are the motorcycle helmets with the black plastic masks on them. That way, nobody can recognize the back of your head either.
Bob Dylan
Image
He gambled all his life, he's got 27 children, yet he's never had a wife.
Bob Dylan

keep a clean nose, watch the plain-clothes.

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
Image
An artist has got to be constantly in a state of becoming.
Bob Dylan
Image
You know, the streets are filled with vipers Who've lost all ray of hope You know, it ain't even safe no more In the palace of the Pope
Bob Dylan
Image
I’m in awe of McCartney. He’s about the only one that I am in awe of. He can do it all. And he’s never let up... He’s just so damn effortless.
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

I find C major to be the key of strength, but also the key of regret. E major is the key of confidence. A-flat major is the key of renunciation.

...how many times must the cannon balls fly Before they're forever banned?
Bob Dylan
Image
I believe that instinct is what makes a genius a genius.
Bob Dylan
Image
Take me disappearing, through the smoke rings of my mind, down the foggy ruins of time.
Bob Dylan
Image
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
