More quotes by Bob Dylan

Shakespeare's last play was called The Tempest. It wasn't called just plain Tempest. The name of my record is just plain Tempest. It's two different titles.
Bob Dylan
Image
You're better than no one and no one is better than you.
Bob Dylan
Image
When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud, I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form.
Bob Dylan
Image
People talk of situations, read books, repeat quotations.
Bob Dylan
Image
God got the power, man has got his vanity. Man gotta choose before God can set him free.
Bob Dylan

If you want to know how to please a woman, just talk to a neuroscience major from Columbia.
Bob Dylan
Image
A lot of people from the press want to talk to me, but they never do.
Bob Dylan
Image
There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke. But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate, so let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.
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

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

When you think that you lost everything you find out you can always lose a little more.
Bob Dylan
Image
Here's the thing with me and the religious thing. This is the flat-out truth: I find the religiosity and philosophy in the music. I don't find it anywhere else.
Bob Dylan
Image
I wouldn't even think of playing music if I was born in these times. I wouldn't even listen to the radio.
Bob Dylan
Image
There's eyes behind the mirrors in empty places.
Bob Dylan
Image
It's always disappointing when people decide for one reason or another that they don't like your work anymore, but you can't try to please people, because then you're just going to be doing - you'll never live it down, y'know it'll always be dogging you around - you might be being a fake about the whole thing.
Bob Dylan

We're constantly being bombarded by insulting and humiliating music, which people are making for you the way they make those Wonder Bread products. Just as food can be bad for your system, music can be bad for your spiritual and emotional feelings. It might taste good or clever, but in the long run, it's not going to do anything for you.
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
Image
DESTINY is a feeling you have that you know something about yourself nobody else does. The picture you have in your own mind of what you're about WILL COME TRUE. It's a kind of a thing you kind of have to keep to your own self, because it's a fragile feeling, and you put it out there, then someone will kill it. It's best to keep that all inside.
Bob Dylan

The purpose of art is to stop time.
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.
