I wouldn't even think of playing music if I was born in these times. I wouldn't even listen to the radio.

More quotes by Bob Dylan
I don't know if I call myself a poet or not. I would like to, but I'm not really qualified to make that decision, because I come in on such a back door, that I don't know what a Robert Frost or a [John] Keats or a T.S. Eliot would really think of my stuff.
Bob Dylan
It frightens me, the awful truth, of how sweet life can be.
Bob Dylan
There doesn't seem to be any tomorrow. Every time I wake up, no matter in what position, it's always been today.
Bob Dylan
Just because you like my stuff doesn't mean I owe you anything.
Bob Dylan
Lay down the song you strum, And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings No voice can hope to hum.
Bob Dylan
Fortune or fame, you must pick one or the other, though neither of them are to be what they claim.
Bob Dylan
You been down to the bottom with a bad man, babe But you're back were you belong
Bob Dylan
I wanted to understand things and then be free of them. I needed to learn how to telescope things, ideas. Things were too big to see all at once, like all the books in the library-everything laying around on all the tables. You might be able to put it all into one paragraph or into one verse of a song if you could get it right.
Bob Dylan
Feel like a broke-down engine, ain't got no drivin' wheel. You all been down and lonesome, you know just how a poor man feels.
Bob Dylan
Inside the museum infinity goes up on trial. Voices echo, 'This is what salvation must be like after a while.' But Mona Lisa must have had the highway blues you can tell by the way she smiles.
Bob Dylan
Dead man, dead man When will you arise? Cobwebs in your mind Dust upon your eyes
Bob Dylan
Technology is mechanical and contrary to the emotions that inform a person's life. The country music field has especially been hit hard by this. All my songs have been written by people who went out of fashion years ago. Just like da Vinci and Renoir and van Gogh. Nobody paints like that anymore. But it can't be wrong to try.
Bob Dylan
Look out your window, and I'll be gone. You're the reason I'm a-traveling on.
Bob Dylan
For them that must obey authority/That they do not respect in any degree/Who despise their jobs, their destinies/Speak jealously of them that are free
Bob Dylan
Some people seem to fade away but then when they are truly gone, it's like they didn't fade away at all.
Bob Dylan
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
It's sundown on the union And what's made in the USA Sure was a good idea 'Til greed got in the way.
Bob Dylan
Trying to create a next world war, he found a promoter who nearly fell off the floor, he said I never engaged in this kind of thing before, but yes I think it can be very easily done.
Bob Dylan
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'.
Bob Dylan
Walkin' through the leaves fallin' from the trees, Feelin' like a stranger nobody sees.
Bob Dylan
