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.

More quotes by Bob Dylan
I never could guess your weight, baby.
Bob Dylan
Art can lead you to God. I think that's the purpose of everything. If it's not doing that, what's it doing? It's leading you the other way. It's certainly not leading you nowhere.
Bob Dylan
All right, I'll take a chance. I will fall in love with you. If i'm a fool you can have the night, you can have the morning too. Can you cook and sew. make flowers grow. Do you understand my pain? Are you willing to risk it all or is your love in vain?
Bob Dylan
I'm good with songs I haven't written, if I like them. I'm glad I didn't write any of them. I already know how they go, so I have more freedom with them. I understand these songs. I've known them for 40 years, 50 years, maybe longer, and they make a lot of sense. So I'm not coming to them like a stranger.
Bob Dylan
I gotta friend who spends his life, stabbing my picture with a bowie knife. Dreams of strangling me with a scarf, when my name comes up he pretends to barf.
Bob Dylan
Sing your praise of progress and the doom machine, the naked truth is still taboo whenever it can be seen.
Bob Dylan
Nothing is better, nothing is best, take heed of this and get plenty of rest.
Bob Dylan
God, I'm glad I'm not me.
Bob Dylan
Shakespeare, he's in the alley with his pointed shoes and his bells, speaking to some French girl who says she knows me well.
Bob Dylan
There used to be a time when the idea of heroes was important. People grew up sharing those myths and legends and ideals. Now they grow up sharing McDonalds and Disneyland.
Bob Dylan
You could listen to Woody Guthrie songs and actually learn how to live.
Bob Dylan
That's another way of writing a song, of course. Just talking to somebody that ain't there. That's the best way. That's the truest way. Then it just becomes a question of how heroic your speech is. To me, it's something to strive after.
Bob Dylan
Some things are too terrible to be true.
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
People call you this or that. But I can't respond because then it seems like I'm defensive, you know, what does it matter, really?
Bob Dylan
Behind every beautiful thing, there's some kind of pain.
Bob Dylan
If I had wings, no one would ask me: should I fly?
Bob Dylan
If I lived my life by what others were thinkin', the heart inside me would've died.
Bob Dylan
Nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street.
Bob Dylan
I come from way north. We'd listen to radio shows all the time. I think I was the last generation, or pretty close to the last one, that grew up without TV.
Bob Dylan
