Bob Dylan

“Don't matter how much money you got, there's only two kinds of people: there's saved people and there's lost people.”

“It seemed I'd always been chasing after something, anything that moved -a car, a bird, a blowing leaf -anything that might lead me into some more lit place, some unknown land downriver. I had not even the vaguest notion of the broken world I was living in, what society could do with you.”

“I'm sick of giving creeps money off my soul.”

“The dominant myth of the day seemed to be that anybody could do anything, even go to the moon. You could do whatever you wanted -in the ads and in the articles, ignore your limitations, defy them. If you were an indecisive person, you could become a leader and wear lederhosen. If you were a housewife, you could become a glamour girl with rhinestone sunglasses. Are you slow witted? No worries -you can be an intellectual genius. If you're old, you can be young. Anything was possible. It was almost like a war against the self.”

“It takes a lot to laugh, it takes a train to cry”

“You hear a lot about God these days: God, the beneficent; God, the all-great; God, the Almighty; God, the most powerful; God, the giver of life; God, the creator of death. I mean, we're hearing about God all the time, so we better learn how to deal with it. But if we know anything about God, God is arbitrary.”

“Nothing can affect my voice, it's so bad.”

“People are crazy and times are strangeI'm locked in tight, I'm out of rangeI used to care, but things have changed”

“Inspiration is hard to come by. You have to take it where you find it.”

“I can't see myself singing the same song twice in a row. That's terrible.”

“You can't imagine parlor ballads drifting out of high-rise multi-towered buildings. That kind of music existed in a more timeless state of life.”

“I think I have a dualistic nature.”

“You call yourself what you want to call yourself.”

“There's only one day at a time here, then it's tonight and then tomorrow will be today again.”

“Anybody can be specific and obvious. That's always been the easy way. It's not that it's so difficult to be unspecific and less obvious; it's just that there's nothing, absolutely nothing, to be specific and obvious about.”

“Let me ask you one questionIs your money that goodWill it buy you forgivenessDo you think that it couldI think you will findWhen your death takes its tollAll the money you madeWill never buy back your soul”

“All I can be is me- whoever that is.”

“Being on tour is like being in limbo. It's like going from nowhere to nowhere.”

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

“Here's the thing with me and the religious thing. This is the flat-out truth: I find the religiosity and philosophy in the music. I don't find it anywhere else.”
