Good intentions can be evil, both hands are full of grease. You know, sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.

More quotes by Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan wasn't a big star early on it was the release of his Greatest Hits album in 1967, and the mainstream success of the stoner anthem Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 (Everybody must get stoned!), that really put him on the mainstream map.
Bob Dylan
How can the life of such a man be in the palm of some fools hand?
Bob Dylan
Popular music had never had lyrical sophistication of this type [like Bob Dylan] wit, to be sure, but Darkness at the break of noon/Shadows even the silver spoon/The handmade blade, the child's balloon/Eclipses both the sun and moon/To understand you know too soon/ There is no sense in trying? No.
Bob Dylan
Here's the thing with me and the religious thing. This is the flat-out truth: I find the religiosity and philosophy in the music. I don't find it anywhere else.
Bob Dylan
I really didn't consider myself happy or unhappy.
Bob Dylan
The best songs are the songs you write that you don't know anything about. They're an escape.
Bob Dylan
In this ocean of hours I'm all the time drinking.
Bob Dylan
I do know what my songs are about.
Bob Dylan
I dug it, New York City, all-the streets and the snows and the starving and the five-flight walkups and sleeping in rooms with ten people. I dug the trains and the shadows, the way I dug ore mines and coal mines. I just jumped right to the bottom of New York.
Bob Dylan
Don't Ask Me Nothing About Nothing, I Just Might Tell You the Truth
Bob Dylan
Every nerve in my body is so vacant and numb/I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from/Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer/It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.
Bob Dylan
All that foreign oil controlling American soil.
Bob Dylan
We never thought we could ever get old.
Bob Dylan
Watch waterfalls of pity roar, you feel to moan but unlike before, you discover that you'd just be one more person crying.
Bob Dylan
I think of a hero as someone who understands the degree of responsibility that comes with his freedom.
Bob Dylan
Everybody has their own idea of what's a poet. Robert Frost, President Johnson, T.S.Eliot, Rudolf Valentino - they're all poets. I like to think of myself as the one who carries the light bulb.
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
Every day your memory grows dimmer - it doesn't haunt me like it did before.
Bob Dylan
A song is like a dream, and you try to make it come true. They're like strange countries that you have to enter.
Bob Dylan
That's another way of writing a song, of course. Just talking to somebody that ain't there. That's the best way. That's the truest way. Then it just becomes a question of how heroic your speech is. To me, it's something to strive after.
Bob Dylan
