How can the life of such a man be in the palm of some fools hand?
Bob Dylan
I fought with my twin, the enemy within.
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
I think of a hero as someone who understands the degree of responsibility that comes with his freedom.
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
You use to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat, who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat.
Bob Dylan
There's been rumors of war and wars that have been The meaning of life has been lost in the wind And some people thinkin' that the end is close by 'Stead of learnin' to live they are learnin' to die

Creativity has much to do with experience, observation and imagination, and if any one of those key elements is missing, it doesn't work.
Bob Dylan
We all like motorcycles to some degree.
Bob Dylan
He not busy being born is busy dying.
Bob Dylan
Now, each of us has his own special gift And you know this was meant to be true. And if you don't underestimate me I won't underestimate you.
Bob Dylan
There's beauty in the silver singing river There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky But none of these and nothing else can match the beauty That I remember in my true love's eyes
Bob Dylan
As he weeps to wicked birds of prey, who pick up on his bread crumb sins, and there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden.
Bob Dylan
It wouldn't kill you to stay the night anyway.
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
You better start swimming, or you'll sink like a stone. Because the Time's they are a-changing.
Bob Dylan
Come writers and critics Who prophesize with your pen And keep your eyes wide The chance won't come again And don't speak too soon For the wheel's still in spin And there's no tellin' who That it's namin' For the loser now Will be later to win For the times they are a-changin'.
Bob Dylan
You must be vulnerable to be sensitive to reality. And to be vulnerable is just another way of saying that one has nothing more to lose. I don't have anything but darkness to lose.
Bob Dylan
The highlight of my career? That's easy, Elvis recording one of my songs.
Bob Dylan
Johnny's in the basement Mixing up the medicine I'm on the pavement Thinking 'bout the government.
