More quotes by Bob Dylan
The confessional singer-songwriter movement of the 1970s was in full swing, and Bob Dylan's emotional album [ Blood on the Tracks] resonated with the times. There would be other hits, but never the same alchemy of emotion and time.
Bob Dylan
All the tired horses in the sun How'm I supposed to get any ridin' done? Hmm.
Bob Dylan
There would be brilliant songs, but, as [Bob] Dylan admitted on the recent Martin Scorsese documentary about him (No Direction Home), the specific muse that inspired It's Alright Ma would not return.
Bob Dylan
A lot of people don't have much food on their table. But they got a lot of forks 'n knives. And they got to cut somethin'.
Bob Dylan
The cards are no good that your are holding unless you're from another world.
Bob Dylan
The government's not going to create jobs. It doesn't have to. People have to create jobs.
Bob Dylan
My father probably thought the capital of the world was wherever he was at the time. It couldn't possibly be anyplace else. Where he and his wife were in their own home, that, for them, was the capital of the world.
Bob Dylan
DESTINY is a feeling you have that you know something about yourself nobody else does. The picture you have in your own mind of what you're about WILL COME TRUE. It's a kind of a thing you kind of have to keep to your own self, because it's a fragile feeling, and you put it out there, then someone will kill it. It's best to keep that all inside.
Bob Dylan
You say you're looking for someone who'll pick you up each time you fall, to gather flowers constantly and to come each time you call, a lover your life and nothing more. But it ain't me, babe.
Bob Dylan
The line it is drawn The curse it is cast The slow one now Will later be fast As the present now Will later be past The new order is Rapidly fadin'. And the first one now Will later be last For the times they are a-changin'.
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
Sometimes you get out from behind the wheel and let someone else step on the gas.
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
You can't imagine parlor ballads drifting out of high-rise multi-towered buildings. That kind of music existed in a more timeless state of life.
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
Most songs have bridges in them, to distract listeners from the main verses of a song so they don't get bored. My songs don't have a lot of bridges because lyric poetry never had them.
Bob Dylan
It was [meeting with Nicolas Sarkozy] like looking at my mirror image.
Bob Dylan
It's sundown on the union And what's made in the USA Sure was a good idea 'Til greed got in the way.
Bob Dylan
The motorcycle black madonna Two wheeled gypsy queen.
Bob Dylan
I'm a liberal to a degree, I want everybody to be free. But if you think that I'll let Barry Goldwater move in next door.
Bob Dylan
