Quote
I'd been going though his trash. He knocked me down. I was glad to see him, even though he was banging my head against the sidewalk. Afterwards these bums come over and say, 'Did he get much money?' I say, 'Money'? That was Bob Dylan.

More quotes by Bob Dylan
A song is like a dream, and you try to make it come true. They're like strange countries that you have to enter.
Bob Dylan
It's always disappointing when people decide for one reason or another that they don't like your work anymore, but you can't try to please people, because then you're just going to be doing - you'll never live it down, y'know it'll always be dogging you around - you might be being a fake about the whole thing.
Bob Dylan
Gonna change my way of thinking, make my self a different set of rules. Gonna put my good foot forward and stop being influenced by fools.
Bob Dylan
Gotta head full of ideas that are driving me insane.
Bob Dylan
I wanted to understand things and then be free of them. I needed to learn how to telescope things, ideas. Things were too big to see all at once, like all the books in the library-everything laying around on all the tables. You might be able to put it all into one paragraph or into one verse of a song if you could get it right.
Bob Dylan
There would be brilliant songs, but, as [Bob] Dylan admitted on the recent Martin Scorsese documentary about him (No Direction Home), the specific muse that inspired It's Alright Ma would not return.
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
I can't see my reflection in the waters, I can't speak the sounds that show no pain. I can't hear the echo of my footsteps, or can't remember the sound of my own name.
Bob Dylan
Popular music had never had lyrical sophistication of this type [like Bob Dylan] wit, to be sure, but Darkness at the break of noon/Shadows even the silver spoon/The handmade blade, the child's balloon/Eclipses both the sun and moon/To understand you know too soon/ There is no sense in trying? No.
Bob Dylan
The real power is in the hands of small groups of people and I don't think they have titles.
Bob Dylan
When you got nothing, you got nothin' to lose You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
Bob Dylan
Beyond here lies nothin' But the mountains of the past
Bob Dylan
When you've got nothing, you've got nothing to loose.
Bob Dylan
Your old road is rapidly aging. Please get out of the new one If you can't lend your hand, For the times they are a-changin'.
Bob Dylan
We sit here stranded, though we're all doin' our best to deny it
Bob Dylan
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken, I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children, And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
Bob Dylan
You have to work out where your place is. And who you are. But we're all spirit. That's all we are, we're just walking dressed up in a suit of skin, and we're going to leave that behind.
Bob Dylan
Once I can focus in on something, I just play it in my mind until an idea comes from out of nowhere, and it's usually the key to the whole song. It's the idea that matters. It's like electricity was around long before Edison harnessed it.
Bob Dylan
I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul.
Bob Dylan
No reason to get excited,' the thief, he kindly spoke, There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke.
Bob Dylan
