Some of the old folk singers used to phrase things in an interesting way, and then, I got my style from seeing a lot of outdoor-type poets, who would recite their poetry. When you don't have a guitar, you recite things differently, and there used to be quite a few poets in the jazz clubs, who would recite with a different type of attitude.

A mistake is to commit a misunderstanding.

Democracy don't rule the world, You'd better get that in your head This world is ruled by violence, But I guess that's better left unsaid.

When the jelly faced women all sneeze, hear the one with the mustache say I can't find my knees.

Art is a never-ending dance of illusions.

When I was growing up - say in the fifties - the thirties to me didn't even exist. I couldn't even imagine them in any kind of way, so I don't expect anyone growing up now is gonna even understand what the sixties were all about, anymore than I could the thirties or twenties.

Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky.

If you like someone's work, the important thing is to be exposed to everything that person has been exposed to. Anyone who wants to be a songwriter should listen to as much folk music as they can, study the form and structure of stuff that has been around for 100 years.

Well the book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy, the law of the jungle and the sea are your only teachers.

In harmony with cosmic sea, true love needs no company. It can cure the soul, it can make it whole, if dogs run free.

You know what they say about bein' nice to the right people on the way up Sooner or later you gonna meet them comin' down

Come mothers and fathers Throughout the land And don't criticize What you can't understand Your sons and your daughters Are beyond your command Your old road is Rapidly agin' Please get out of the new one If you can't lend your hand For the times they are a-changin'.
Bob Dylan

DESTINY is a feeling you have that you know something about yourself nobody else does. The picture you have in your own mind of what you're about WILL COME TRUE. It's a kind of a thing you kind of have to keep to your own self, because it's a fragile feeling, and you put it out there, then someone will kill it. It's best to keep that all inside.

How can the life of such a man be in the palm of some fools hand?

I gaze into the doorway of temptation's angry flame And every time I pass that way I always hear my name
Bob Dylan

The line it is drawn The curse it is cast The slow one now Will later be fast As the present now Will later be past The new order is Rapidly fadin'. And the first one now Will later be last For the times they are a-changin'.
