Bob Dylan

I've never written a political song. Songs can't save the world. I've gone through all that.

There is nothing so stable as change.

In the dime stores and bus stations, people talk of situations, read books, repeat quotations, draw conclusions on the wall.

I change during the course of a day. I wake and I'm one person, and when I go to sleep I know for certain I'm somebody else.

Some people seem to fade away but then when they are truly gone, it's like they didn't fade away at all.

I define nothing. Not beauty, not patriotism. I take each thing as it is, without prior rules about what it should be.

Being noticed can be a burden. Jesus got himself crucified because he got himself noticed. So I disappear a lot.

All this talk about equality. The only thing people really have in common is that they are all going to die.

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.

If you can't lend a hand, then get out of the way.

Now, each of us has his own special gift And you know this was meant to be true. And if you don't underestimate me I won't underestimate you.

Got no religion. Tried a bunch of different religions. The churches are divided. Can't make up their minds and neither can I.

Black is the Color and none is the number

People have a hard time accepting anything that overwhelms them.

There are a lot of places I like, but I like New Orleans better.

I've never been able to understand the seriousness of it all, the seriousness of pride. People talk, act, live as if they're never going to die. And what do they leave behind? Nothing. Nothing but a mask.

You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns when they all did tricks for you.

I could stay with you forever and never realize the time.

You will find God in the church of your choice.

You could listen to Woody Guthrie songs and actually learn how to live.

When it came time to hire a guitar player ... I didn't even have to think about it ... Mike Bloomfield was the best guitar player I'd ever heard.
