More quotes by Bob Dylan
People think that singing and playing is easy. It's not. It's easy to strum along, but if you actually want to really play, where it's important, that's a hard thing and not too many people are good at it.
Bob Dylan
The only sound that's left after the ambulances go is Cinderella sweeping up on Desolation Row.
Bob Dylan
Just because you like my stuff doesn't mean I owe you anything.
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
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
You can't do something forever.
Bob Dylan
Once I can focus in on something, I just play it in my mind until an idea comes from out of nowhere, and it's usually the key to the whole song. It's the idea that matters. It's like electricity was around long before Edison harnessed it.
Bob Dylan
Bob has never written a bad song. Bob Dylan is a genius.
Bob Dylan
Her profession's her religion, her sin is lifelessness.
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
Don't matter how much money you got, there's only two kinds of people: there's saved people and there's lost people.
Bob Dylan
Gates appeal to me because of the negative space they allow. They can be closed but at the same time they allow the seasons and breezes to enter and flow. They can shut you out or shut you in. And in some ways there is no difference.
Bob Dylan
Johnny's in the basement Mixing up the medicine I'm on the pavement Thinking 'bout the government.
Bob Dylan
I am a restless soul hungry perhaps wretched.
Bob Dylan
Art is the perpetual motion of illusion. The highest purpose of art is to inspire. What else can you do? What else can you do for any one but inspire them?
Bob Dylan
The song was there before me, before I came along. I just sorta came down and just sorta took it down with a pencil, but it was there before I came around.
Bob Dylan
Sometimes it's not enough to know what things mean, sometimes you have to know what things don't mean.
Bob Dylan
Freedom just around the corner for you, but with the truth so far off, what good will it do?
Bob Dylan
The Rolling Stones are truly the greatest rock and roll band in the world and always will be. The last too. Everything that came after them, metal, rap, punk, new wave, pop-rock, you name it... you can trace it all back to the Rolling Stones. They were the first and the last and no one's ever done it better.
Bob Dylan
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
Bob Dylan
