More quotes by Bob Dylan
Every step of the way we walk the line Your days are numbered, so are mine Time is pilin' up, we struggle and we scrape We're all boxed in, nowhere to escape
Bob Dylan
They said, congratulations you got what it takes. They sent him back to the rat race without any brakes.
Bob Dylan
Dealing with my own life takes priority over other people dealing with my life.
Bob Dylan
The purpose of art is to stop time.
Bob Dylan
I've never gone for having a great voice, for cultivating one. I'm still not doing it now.
Bob Dylan
What's money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do.
Bob Dylan
America was founded on the backs of slaves.
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
If there's an original thought out there, I could use one right now.
Bob Dylan
How can the life of such a man be in the palm of some fools hand?
Bob Dylan
I ain't looking to compete with you, beat, or cheat, or mistreat you, simplify you, classify you, deny, defy, or crucify you. All I really want to do is, baby, be friends with you.
Bob Dylan
On the stone that remains carved next to his name, his epitaph plain, only a pawn in their game.
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
A record ... is a statement, it's its own statement, its own entity, rather than being about something else. If I was a painter ... I don't paint the chair, I would paint feelings about the chair.
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
The National Bank at profit sells road maps for the soul.
Bob Dylan
You hear a lot about God these days: God, the beneficent God, the all-great God, the Almighty God, the most powerful God, the giver of life God, the creator of death. I mean, we're hearing about God all the time, so we better learn how to deal with it. But if we know anything about God, God is arbitrary.
Bob Dylan
You're better than no one and no one is better than you.
Bob Dylan
There's eyes behind the mirrors in empty places.
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
