You know, sometimes a person's reputation can be far more colossal than the influence of the person. I don't pay any attention to it anymore.

Art can lead you to God. I think that's the purpose of everything. If it's not doing that, what's it doing? It's leading you the other way. It's certainly not leading you nowhere.

The answer is blowin' in the wind.

It wouldn't kill you to stay the night anyway.

What good are fans? You can't eat applause for breakfast. You can't sleep with it.
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.

Good intentions can be evil, both hands are full of grease. You know, sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.
Bob Dylan

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.

Never make it perfect.

She speaks with a stutter and she and she walks with a hop. I don't know why I love her, but I just can't stop.
Bob Dylan

You're better than no one and no one is better than you.
Bob Dylan

Technology is mechanical and contrary to the emotions that inform a person's life. The country music field has especially been hit hard by this. All my songs have been written by people who went out of fashion years ago. Just like da Vinci and Renoir and van Gogh. Nobody paints like that anymore. But it can't be wrong to try.
Bob Dylan

Despite everybody who has been born and has died, the world has just gone on. I mean, look at Napoleon -but we went right on. Look at Harpo Marx -the world went around, it didn't stop for a second. It's sad but true. John Kennedy, right?

No one is free, even the birds are chained to the sky.

You've got to lose your passion for dumbness.

I think I have a dualistic nature.

My favorite politician was Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater, who reminded me of Tom Mix, and there wasn't any way to explain that to anybody.

Proud to steal her anything she sees, but you will wind up peeking through her key hole down upon your knees.

When you got nothing, you got nothin' to lose You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
