Quote

Some are masters of illusions, some are ministers of trade, all under the same delusion, all their beds unmade.

It will scramble your head and drag your brain about, sometimes you gotta do like Elvis did and shoot the damn thing out.
Bob Dylan
Image
Beauty walks a razors edge, someday I'll make it mine.
Bob Dylan
Image
Tangled Up in Blue, shifts perspective several times during the song to tell a tangled version of [Bob] Dylan's marriage and dissolution.
Bob Dylan
Image
They kill people here who stand up for their rights The system's just too damned corrupt It's always the same, the name of the game Is who do you know higher up
Bob Dylan
Image
In songs, you have to tell people about something they didn't see and weren't there for, and you have to do it as if you were.
Bob Dylan
Image
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
Image
Feel like a broke-down engine, ain't got no drivin' wheel. You all been down and lonesome, you know just how a poor man feels.
Bob Dylan
Image
Technology is mechanical and contrary to the emotions that inform a person's life. The country music field has especially been hit hard by this. All my songs have been written by people who went out of fashion years ago. Just like da Vinci and Renoir and van Gogh. Nobody paints like that anymore. But it can't be wrong to try.
Bob Dylan
Image
If ever asked to look at yourself, don't.
Bob Dylan
Image
People disagreeing everywhere you look makes you wanna stop and read a book.
Bob Dylan
Image
And I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinking.
Bob Dylan
Image
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
Image
You just have to keep going to find that thing that lets you in the door. Sometimes in life when that day comes and you're given the key, you throw it away.
Bob Dylan
Image
Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky.
Bob Dylan
Image
Old New York City is a friendly old town From Washington Heights to Harlem on down There's a-mighty many people all millin' all around They'll kick you when you're up and knock you when you're down It's hard times in the city Livin' down in New York town
Bob Dylan
Image
An artist has got to be careful never really to arrive at a place where he thinks he's AT somewhere. You always have to realize that you're constantly in a state of becoming. And, as long as you can stay in that realm you'll sort of be alright.
Bob Dylan
Image
I used to think it's better if you just live and die and no one knows who you are.
Bob Dylan
Image
I wouldn't even think of playing music if I was born in these times. I wouldn't even listen to the radio.
Bob Dylan
Image
Good intentions can be evil, both hands are full of grease. You know, sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.
Bob Dylan
Image
How many a year has passed and gone and many gamble has been lost and won, and many a road taken by a friend and each one I've never seen again.
Bob Dylan
