More quotes by Bob Dylan
Got no religion. Tried a bunch of different religions. The churches are divided. Can't make up their minds and neither can I.
Bob Dylan
What good are fans? You can't eat applause for breakfast. You can't sleep with it.
Bob Dylan
Come writers and critics Who prophesize with your pen And keep your eyes wide The chance won't come again And don't speak too soon For the wheel's still in spin And there's no tellin' who That it's namin' For the loser now Will be later to win For the times they are a-changin'.
Bob Dylan
If there's an original thought out there, I could use one right now.
Bob Dylan
Shedding off one more layer of skin, Keeping one step ahead of the persecutor within.
Bob Dylan
Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed, dignity never been photographed.
Bob Dylan
Oh, God said to Abraham, Kill me a son Abe said, Man, you must be puttin' me on God said, No Abe say, What? God say, You can do what you want, Abe, but The next time you see me comin', you better run Well, Abe said, Where d'you want this killin' done? God said, Out on Highway 61.
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
Nothing can affect my voice, it's so bad.
Bob Dylan
The executioner's face is always well hidden.
Bob Dylan
I make my stand and remain as I am, and bid farewell and not give a damn.
Bob Dylan
You know, the streets are filled with vipers Who've lost all ray of hope You know, it ain't even safe no more In the palace of the Pope
Bob Dylan
The cavalries charged and the Indians died, oh the country was young with God on its side.
Bob Dylan
Some of the old folk singers used to phrase things in an interesting way, and then, I got my style from seeing a lot of outdoor-type poets, who would recite their poetry. When you don't have a guitar, you recite things differently, and there used to be quite a few poets in the jazz clubs, who would recite with a different type of attitude.
Bob Dylan
Every nerve in my body is so vacant and numb/I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from/Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer/It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.
Bob Dylan
Behind every beautiful thing, there's some kind of pain.
Bob Dylan
She makes love just like a woman.
Bob Dylan
I never could guess your weight, baby.
Bob Dylan
When somethin's not right it's wrong.
Bob Dylan
On the stone that remains carved next to his name, his epitaph plain, only a pawn in their game.
Bob Dylan
