I have tried my hand at bribery, blackmail, and deceit. And I've served time for everything, cept beggin on the street.

More quotes by Bob Dylan
Broken bottles, broken plates, broken switches, broken gates. Broken dishes, broken parts, streets are filled with broken hearts.
Bob Dylan
You must be vulnerable to be sensitive to reality. And to be vulnerable is just another way of saying that one has nothing more to lose. I don't have anything but darkness to lose.
Bob Dylan
Well, it's hard to stumble And land in some muddy lagoon When it's nine below zero And three o'clock in the afternoon.
Bob Dylan
They like to take all this money from sin, build big universities to study in, sing Amazing Grace all the way to the Swiss banks.
Bob Dylan
I took her by the hand and my heart it was thumpin'. When she said, hey man, you crazy or somethin'?
Bob Dylan
I wanted to understand things and then be free of them. I needed to learn how to telescope things, ideas. Things were too big to see all at once, like all the books in the library-everything laying around on all the tables. You might be able to put it all into one paragraph or into one verse of a song if you could get it right.
Bob Dylan
If I lived my life by what others were thinkin', the heart inside me would've died.
Bob Dylan
Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow that it passes through.
Bob Dylan
My songs are personal music, they're not communal. I wouldn't want people singing along with me. It would sound funny. I'm not playing campfire meetings. I don't remember anyone singing along with Elvis, Carl Perkins or Little Richard.
Bob Dylan
Every day your memory grows dimmer - it doesn't haunt me like it did before.
Bob Dylan
You can't be happy by doing something groovy.
Bob Dylan
I don't need your organization, I've moved your mountains and I've marked you cards, but Eden is burning. You better get ready for elimination or else your hearts must have the courage of the changing of the guard.
Bob Dylan
I need all kinds of songs - fast ones, slow ones, minor key, ballads, rumbas - and they all get juggled around during a live show. I've been trying for years to come up with songs that have the feeling of a Shakespearean drama, so I'm always starting with that.
Bob Dylan
He gambled all his life, he's got 27 children, yet he's never had a wife.
Bob Dylan
If you choose to live outside the law, you must obey the law more stringently than anyone.
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
The times they are a-changing.
Bob Dylan
America was founded on the backs of slaves.
Bob Dylan
A lot of people from the press want to talk to me, but they never do.
Bob Dylan
Yesterday is just a memory.
Bob Dylan
