Image
I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes. You'd know what a drag it is to see you.
Bob Dylan
Image
Yesterday's just a memory, tomorrow is never what it's supposed to be.
Bob Dylan
Image
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
Image
keep a clean nose, watch the plain-clothes.
Bob Dylan
Image
And I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinking.
Bob Dylan
Image
The ghosts race towards the light, you can almost hear the heavy breathing spirits, all determined to get somewhere. New Orleans, unlike a lot of places you go back to and that don't have the magic anymore, still has got it. Night can swallow you up, yet none of it touches you. You can't see it, but you know it's here. Somebody's always sinking.
Bob Dylan
Image
Feel like a broke-down engine, ain't got no drivin' wheel. You all been down and lonesome, you know just how a poor man feels.
Bob Dylan
Image
A noble truth is a sacred creed.
Bob Dylan
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Just a reminder, if you tell anyone about what happened with Jonah last night, I'll destroy all of my writing and never play music again.
Bob Dylan
Image
Trying to create a next world war, he found a promoter who nearly fell off the floor, he said I never engaged in this kind of thing before, but yes I think it can be very easily done.
Bob Dylan
Image
You can't be happy by doing something groovy.
Bob Dylan
Image
If God is on our side, he'll stop the next war.
Bob Dylan
Image
If ever asked to look at yourself, don't.
Bob Dylan
Image
He hands you a nickel, he hands you a dime. He asks you with a grin, if you're having a good time.
Bob Dylan
Image
Can't keep track of it no more, son's becoming husbands to their mothers, and old men turning your daughters into whores.
Bob Dylan
Image
I like America, just as everybody else does. I love America, I gotta say that. But America will be judged.
Bob Dylan
Image
You'll never be greater than yourself.
Bob Dylan
Image
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
