I play these [folk acoustic] concerts and I ask myself, 'Would you come see me tonight?' - and I'd have to answer truthfully, 'No, I wouldn't come. I'd rather be doin' something else, really I would. That something else is rock... The words are pictures, and the rock's gonna help me flesh out the colors of the pictures. (1965)

Bob Dylan

Don't matter how much money you got, there's only two kinds of people: there's saved people and there's lost people.

Dead man, dead man When will you arise? Cobwebs in your mind Dust upon your eyes
Bob Dylan

Art can lead you to God. I think that's the purpose of everything. If it's not doing that, what's it doing? It's leading you the other way. It's certainly not leading you nowhere.

I don't usually purge myself by writing anything about any type of quote, so-called, relationships.
Bob Dylan

If you try to be anyone but yourself, you will fail if you are not true to your own heart, you will fail. Then again, there's no success like failure

You know, sometimes a person's reputation can be far more colossal than the influence of the person. I don't pay any attention to it anymore.

Along with some of the worst music of Bob Dylan's career (Self-Portrait, 1970), this period produced some gems - including many songs recorded with The Band in '67 but not released until years later.

Nothing is better, nothing is best, take heed of this and get plenty of rest.

Ah, current music. What would that be? Ah, really, a lot of it sounds defective to me. It makes me restless.
