The confessional singer-songwriter movement of the 1970s was in full swing, and Bob Dylan's emotional album [ Blood on the Tracks] resonated with the times. There would be other hits, but never the same alchemy of emotion and time.

More quotes by Bob Dylan
Take me disappearing, through the smoke rings of my mind, down the foggy ruins of time.
Bob Dylan
Life is more or less a lie, but then again, that's exactly the way we want it to be.
Bob Dylan
Romance never does go out of fashion. It's radical. But it's out of step with the current media culture.
Bob Dylan
You want to know about creativity? Just go out and buy that book Imagine by Jonah Lehrer. It's only $29.00 in hardcover.
Bob Dylan
It's not dark yet But it's getting there
Bob Dylan
In songs, you have to tell people about something they didn't see and weren't there for, and you have to do it as if you were.
Bob Dylan
I'm in love with my second cousin.
Bob Dylan
Whatever people see - TV in my mind forms people's opinions.
Bob Dylan
You walk into the room like a camel and then put your eyes in your pockets and your nose on the ground.
Bob Dylan
I'm good with songs I haven't written, if I like them. I'm glad I didn't write any of them. I already know how they go, so I have more freedom with them. I understand these songs. I've known them for 40 years, 50 years, maybe longer, and they make a lot of sense. So I'm not coming to them like a stranger.
Bob Dylan
I need all kinds of songs - fast ones, slow ones, minor key, ballads, rumbas - and they all get juggled around during a live show. I've been trying for years to come up with songs that have the feeling of a Shakespearean drama, so I'm always starting with that.
Bob Dylan
I'm inconsistent, even to myself.
Bob Dylan
There is nothing so stable as change.
Bob Dylan
And it dawned on me that I might have to change my inner thought patterns... that I would have to start believing in possibilities that I wouldn't have allowed before, that I had been closing my creativity down to a very narrow, controllable scale... that things had become too familiar and I might have to disorientate myself. p.71
Bob Dylan
Well, the moral of the story, The moral of this song, Is simply that one should never be Where one does not belong. So when you see your neighbor carryin' somethin', Help him with his load, And don't go mistaking Paradise For that home across the road.
Bob Dylan
Whatever that [transfiguration by Bob Dylan] means, it's true that the poetic brilliance of the early career would never really reappear.
Bob Dylan
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.
Bob Dylan
Love is all there is, it makes the world go around. Love and only love, it can't be denied.
Bob Dylan
People think they know me from my songs. But my repertoire of songs is so wide-ranging that you'd have to be a madman to figure out the characteristics of the person who wrote all those songs.
Bob Dylan
People have different emotional levels. Especially when you're young.
Bob Dylan
