More quotes by Bob Dylan
Dealing with my own life takes priority over other people dealing with my life.
Bob Dylan
Inspiration is hard to come by. You have to take it where you find it.
Bob Dylan
Rumble is the best instrumental ever.
Bob Dylan
Seven shots ring out like the ocean's pounding roar, there's seven people dead on a South Dakota farm.
Bob Dylan
You always got to be prepared but you never know for what.
Bob Dylan
As long as you give my friend Jonah Lehrer a free pizza, I'll write a song about your restaurant.
Bob Dylan
Despite everybody who has been born and has died, the world has just gone on. I mean, look at Napoleon -but we went right on. Look at Harpo Marx -the world went around, it didn't stop for a second. It's sad but true. John Kennedy, right?
Bob Dylan
I don't know if I call myself a poet or not. I would like to, but I'm not really qualified to make that decision, because I come in on such a back door, that I don't know what a Robert Frost or a [John] Keats or a T.S. Eliot would really think of my stuff.
Bob Dylan
Jesus tapped me on the shoulder and said, Bob, why are you resisting me? I said, I'm not resisting you! He said, You gonna follow me? I said, I've never thought about that before! He said, When you're not following me, you're resisting me.
Bob Dylan
Some of the old folk singers used to phrase things in an interesting way, and then, I got my style from seeing a lot of outdoor-type poets, who would recite their poetry. When you don't have a guitar, you recite things differently, and there used to be quite a few poets in the jazz clubs, who would recite with a different type of attitude.
Bob Dylan
Don't criticize what you can't understand.
Bob Dylan
It's not important what other people call you. If you yourself know you're a fake, that's tougher to live with.
Bob Dylan
Broken bottles, broken plates, broken switches, broken gates. Broken dishes, broken parts, streets are filled with broken hearts.
Bob Dylan
I never could guess your weight, baby.
Bob Dylan
I'm not a playwright. The people in my songs are all me.
Bob Dylan
The cavalries charged and the Indians died, oh the country was young with God on its side.
Bob Dylan
You have to work out where your place is. And who you are. But we're all spirit. That's all we are, we're just walking dressed up in a suit of skin, and we're going to leave that behind.
Bob Dylan
The inmates and prisoners, I found they were my kind, and it was there inside the bars I found my peace of mind.
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
May you grow up to be righteous, may you grow up to be true. May you always know the truth and see the lights surrounding you. May you always be courageous, stand upright and be strong. May you stay forever young.
Bob Dylan
