More quotes by Bob Dylan
Gonna change my way of thinking, make my self a different set of rules. Gonna put my good foot forward and stop being influenced by fools.
Bob Dylan
The more you act the further you get away from the truth.
Bob Dylan
Inspiration is hard to come by. You have to take it where you find it.
Bob Dylan
Yesterday is just a memory.
Bob Dylan
Well the book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy, the law of the jungle and the sea are your only teachers.
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
Someone handed me Mexico City Blues in St. Paul [Minnesota] in 1959 and it blew my mind. It was the first poetry that spoke my own language.
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
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
Bob Dylan
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
Bob Dylan
I gotta friend who spends his life, stabbing my picture with a bowie knife. Dreams of strangling me with a scarf, when my name comes up he pretends to barf.
Bob Dylan
For them that must obey authority/That they do not respect in any degree/Who despise their jobs, their destinies/Speak jealously of them that are free
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
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
I'm a good friend of Jonah Lehrer's. You should go on a date with him.
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
When I was growing up - say in the fifties - the thirties to me didn't even exist. I couldn't even imagine them in any kind of way, so I don't expect anyone growing up now is gonna even understand what the sixties were all about, anymore than I could the thirties or twenties.
Bob Dylan
The inmates and prisoners, I found they were my kind, and it was there inside the bars I found my peace of mind.
Bob Dylan
Seven shots ring out like the ocean's pounding roar, there's seven people dead on a South Dakota farm.
Bob Dylan
...how many times must the cannon balls fly Before they're forever banned?
Bob Dylan
