I dug it, New York City, all-the streets and the snows and the starving and the five-flight walkups and sleeping in rooms with ten people. I dug the trains and the shadows, the way I dug ore mines and coal mines. I just jumped right to the bottom of New York.
Bob Dylan

You don't count the dead, when god's on your side.
Bob Dylan
Image
They self-inflict punishment on their own broken lives, put their faith in their possessions, in their jobs, or their wives.
Bob Dylan
Image
Yesterday's just a memory, tomorrow is never what it's supposed to be.
Bob Dylan
Image
Is your money that good, will it buy you forgiveness?
Bob Dylan
Image
With great lawyers you have discussed lepers and crooks, you've been through all of F. Scott Fitzgerald's books.
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

Lay down the song you strum, And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings No voice can hope to hum.
Bob Dylan

In the dime stores and bus stations People talk of situations Read books, repeat quotations Draw conclusions on the wall Some speak of the future My love she speaks softly She knows there’s no success like failure And that failure’s no success at all -Bob Dylan, “Love Minus Zero / No Limit” (1965)

I didn't know whether to duck or to run, so I ran.

You might be a rock and roll addict prancing on the stage. You might have drugs at your command, women in a cage.
Bob Dylan

People are going to say, ‘Well, it’s not very truthful.’ But a songwriter doesn’t care about what’s truthful. What he cares about is what should’ve happened, what could’ve happened. That’s its own kind of truth. It’s like people who read Shakespeare plays, but they never see a Shakespeare play. I think they just use his name.
Bob Dylan

Half of the people can be part right all of the time, Some of the people can be all right part of the time. I think Abraham Lincoln said that. 'I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours,' I said that.

Ring the bells for the blind and deaf.
Bob Dylan

I thought that he was righteous, but he's vain. Oh, somethings a telling me I wear the ball and chain.

Your old road is rapidly aging. Please get out of the new one If you can't lend your hand, For the times they are a-changin'.

..When I first heard Elvis' voice, I knew that I wasn't going to work for anybody ... hearing him for the first time was like busting out of jail

You have to work out where your place is. And who you are. But we're all spirit. That's all we are, we're just walking dressed up in a suit of skin, and we're going to leave that behind.

They asked me for some collateral and I pulled down my pants.
Bob Dylan
Image
And it dawned on me that I might have to change my inner thought patterns... that I would have to start believing in possibilities that I wouldn't have allowed before, that I had been closing my creativity down to a very narrow, controllable scale... that things had become too familiar and I might have to disorientate myself. p.71
