When I think of mystery, I don't think about myself. I think of the universe, like why does the moon rise when the sun falls? Caterpillars turn into butterflies? I really haven't remained a recluse.
Bob Dylan
Image
I'm a good friend of Jonah Lehrer's. You should go on a date with him.
Bob Dylan
Image
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

Let the dead bury the dead, your time will come.
Bob Dylan
Image
How does it feel, how does it feel to be without a home, like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone.
Bob Dylan

Everybody's wearing a disguise, to hide what they've got left behind their eyes.
Bob Dylan

I play these [folk acoustic] concerts and I ask myself, 'Would you come see me tonight?' - and I'd have to answer truthfully, 'No, I wouldn't come. I'd rather be doin' something else, really I would. That something else is rock... The words are pictures, and the rock's gonna help me flesh out the colors of the pictures. (1965)

Ain't no use jiving, ain't no use joking, everything is broken.
Bob Dylan

Everybody has their own idea of what's a poet. Robert Frost, President Johnson, T.S.Eliot, Rudolf Valentino - they're all poets. I like to think of myself as the one who carries the light bulb.
Bob Dylan
Image
Is your money that good, will it buy you forgiveness?
Bob Dylan
Image
I accept chaos. I am not sure whether it accepts me. I know some people are terrified of the bomb. But then some people are terrified to be seen carrying a modern screen magazine. Experience teaches us that silence terrifies people the most.
Bob Dylan
Image
I think of rock 'n' roll as a combination of country blues and swing band music, not Chicago blues, and modern pop.
Bob Dylan
Image
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
Mona Lisa must have had the highway blues you can tell by the way she smiles.
Bob Dylan
Image
The picture you have in your mind of what you're about will come true.
Bob Dylan
Image
Now, each of us has his own special gift And you know this was meant to be true. And if you don't underestimate me I won't underestimate you.
Bob Dylan
Image
Every step of the way we walk the line Your days are numbered, so are mine Time is pilin' up, we struggle and we scrape We're all boxed in, nowhere to escape
Bob Dylan
Image
We sit here stranded, though we're all doin' our best to deny it
Bob Dylan
Image
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

Life has its ups and downs, and time has to be your partner. Really, time is your soul mate.
