More quotes by Bob Dylan
I've never been able to understand the seriousness of it all, the seriousness of pride. People talk, act, live as if they're never going to die. And what do they leave behind? Nothing. Nothing but a mask.
Bob Dylan
You five and ten cent women with nothing in your heads, I got a real gal I'm loving and Lord I'll love her 'til I'm dead.
Bob Dylan
Don't get up gentlemen. I'm only passing through!
Bob Dylan
The Duke [John Wayne] was a massive figure. He looked like a heavy piece of hauled lumber, and it didn't seem like any man could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
Bob Dylan
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take to find dignity.
Bob Dylan
You don't necessarily have to write to be a poet. Some people work in gas stations and they're poets. I don't call myself a poet, because I don't like the word. I'm a trapeze artist.
Bob Dylan
One was Texas medicine, the other was just railroad gin, and like a fool I mixed them.
Bob Dylan
Having these colossal accolades and titles, they get in the way.
Bob Dylan
The cavalries charged and the Indians died, oh the country was young with God on its side.
Bob Dylan
Nothing is better, nothing is best, take heed of this and get plenty of rest.
Bob Dylan
The only person you have to think about lying twice to is either yourself or to God. The press isn't either of them. And I just figured they're irrelevant.
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
I don't think I'm tangible to myself.
Bob Dylan
May you stay Forever Young
Bob Dylan
The purpose of art is to stop time.
Bob Dylan
Folk music is a bunch of fat people.
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
You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.
Bob Dylan
You I am sure will forgive me for sincerely remarking that you might curb your magnanimity and be more of an artist, and 'load every rift' of your subject with ore.
Bob Dylan
Passion is a young man's game. Young people can be passionate. Older people gotta be more wise. I mean, you're around awhile, you leave certain things to the young. Don't try to act like you're young. You could really hurt yourself.
Bob Dylan
