More quotes by Bob Dylan
A brilliant 1989 album, Oh Mercy some career retrospectives and two albums of American folk songs, with just Bob Dylan and his guitar and harmonica. All that culminated in the Grammy-winning comeback album, Time Out of Mind (1997). Once again, just as Dylan seemed to be out of it, he was back at the top of his game.
Bob Dylan
When you feel in your gut what you are and then dynamically pursue it - don't back down and don't give up - then you're going to mystify a lot of folks.
Bob Dylan
Everybody knows by now that there's a gazillion books on me either out or coming out in the near future. So I'm encouraging anybody who's ever met me, heard me or even seen me, to get in on the action and scribble their own book. You never know, somebody might have a great book in them.
Bob Dylan
You get older. You start having hopes for other people rather than yourself.
Bob Dylan
Yesterday's just a memory, tomorrow is never what it's supposed to be.
Bob Dylan
If you choose to live outside the law, you must obey the law more stringently than anyone.
Bob Dylan
The ghosts race towards the light, you can almost hear the heavy breathing spirits, all determined to get somewhere. New Orleans, unlike a lot of places you go back to and that don't have the magic anymore, still has got it. Night can swallow you up, yet none of it touches you. You can't see it, but you know it's here. Somebody's always sinking.
Bob Dylan
Some are masters of illusions, some are ministers of trade, all under the same delusion, all their beds unmade.
Bob Dylan
It's always disappointing when people decide for one reason or another that they don't like your work anymore, but you can't try to please people, because then you're just going to be doing - you'll never live it down, y'know it'll always be dogging you around - you might be being a fake about the whole thing.
Bob Dylan
Can't keep track of it no more, son's becoming husbands to their mothers, and old men turning your daughters into whores.
Bob Dylan
And I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinking.
Bob Dylan
I'll remember you. When I've forgotten all the rest.You to me were true. You to me were the best.
Bob Dylan
Hold it, Doc, a world war passed through my brain. He said, Nurse, get your pad, this boy's insane.
Bob Dylan
It's not easy to define poetry.
Bob Dylan
All that foreign oil controlling American soil.
Bob Dylan
He gambled all his life, he's got 27 children, yet he's never had a wife.
Bob Dylan
I'm looking for a woman who's head is mixed up like mine.
Bob Dylan
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken, I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children, And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
Bob Dylan
My songs were influenced not so much by poetry on the page but by poetry being recited by the poets who recited poems with jazz bands.
Bob Dylan
Well, I try my best to be just like I am, But everybody wants you to be just like them, They sing while you slave and I just get bored
Bob Dylan
