More quotes by Bob Dylan
Jesus tapped me on the shoulder and said, Bob, why are you resisting me? I said, I'm not resisting you! He said, You gonna follow me? I said, I've never thought about that before! He said, When you're not following me, you're resisting me.
Bob Dylan
A lot of people don't have much food on their table. But they got a lot of forks 'n knives. And they got to cut somethin'.
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
It takes a lot to laugh, it takes a train to cry
Bob Dylan
Having hits buries a singer in the past. A lot of singers hide in the past because it's safer back there. If you've ever heard today's country music, you'll know what I'm talking about.
Bob Dylan
All that foreign oil controlling American soil.
Bob Dylan
Having these colossal accolades and titles, they get in the way.
Bob Dylan
There's not even room enough to be anywhere/It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.../I was born here and I'll die here against my will/I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still.
Bob Dylan
There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke. But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate, so let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.
Bob Dylan
Time is an ocean, but it ends at the shore.
Bob Dylan
Death to me means nothing as long as I can die fast.
Bob Dylan
Life is more or less a lie, but then again, that's exactly the way we want it to be.
Bob Dylan
There is a house in New Orleans they call the Rising Sun, and it's been the ruin of many a poor boy and God I know I'm one.
Bob Dylan
I've been sitting down studying the Art of Love. I think it will fit me like a glove.
Bob Dylan
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours.
Bob Dylan
Passion is a young man's game. Young people can be passionate. Older people gotta be more wise. I mean, you're around awhile, you leave certain things to the young. Don't try to act like you're young. You could really hurt yourself.
Bob Dylan
I don't think the human mind can comprehend the past and the future. They are both just illusions that can manipulate you into thinking there's some kind of change.
Bob Dylan
..When I first heard Elvis' voice, I knew that I wasn't going to work for anybody ... hearing him for the first time was like busting out of jail
Bob Dylan
Don't matter how much money you got, there's only two kinds of people: there's saved people and there's lost people.
Bob Dylan
People tell me it's a sin, to know and feel too much within.
Bob Dylan
