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

Each one of them suffering from the failures of their day, with strings of guilt they tried hard to guide us.
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

Every cause that ever I fought, I fought it full without regret or shame.
