I really didn't consider myself happy or unhappy.
Bob Dylan

There's only one day at a time here, then it's tonight and then tomorrow will be today again.
Bob Dylan
Image
Popular music had never had lyrical sophistication of this type [like Bob Dylan] wit, to be sure, but Darkness at the break of noon/Shadows even the silver spoon/The handmade blade, the child's balloon/Eclipses both the sun and moon/To understand you know too soon/ There is no sense in trying? No.
Bob Dylan
Image
Come mothers and fathers Throughout the land And don't criticize What you can't understand Your sons and your daughters Are beyond your command Your old road is Rapidly agin' Please get out of the new one If you can't lend your hand For the times they are a-changin'.

Most songs have bridges in them, to distract listeners from the main verses of a song so they don't get bored. My songs don't have a lot of bridges because lyric poetry never had them.
Bob Dylan

How many roads must a man walk down Before your can call him a man? . . . The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind, The answer is blowin' in the wind.
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

Colleges are like old-age homes, except for the fact that more people die in colleges.
Bob Dylan

I'm in love with my second cousin.
Bob Dylan

Look, when I started out, mainstream culture was Sinatra, Perry Como, Andy Williams, Sound of Music. There was no fitting into it then and of course, there's no fitting into it now.
Bob Dylan
Image
He hands you a nickel, he hands you a dime. He asks you with a grin, if you're having a good time.
Bob Dylan
Image
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
Image
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

Good intentions can be evil, both hands are full of grease. You know, sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.
