“Opportunities may come along for you to convert something -something that exists into something that didn’t yet. That might be the beginning of it. Sometimes you just want to do things your way, want to see for yourself what lies behind the misty curtain. It’s not like you see songs approaching and invite them in. It’s not that easy. You want to write songs that are bigger than life. You want to say something about strange things that have happened to you, strange things you have seen. You have to know and understand something and then go past the vernacular.”
― Bob Dylan, Chronicles, Vol. 1
“How long can I listen to the lies of prejudice? How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness? Can I cast it aside, all this loyalty and this pride? Will I ever learn that there’ll be no peace, that the war won’t cease, until He returns?”
“We’re going all the way ’til the wheels fall off and burn.” Bob Dylan
“you are right john cohen — quazimodo was right — mozart was right… . I cannot say the word eye any more … . when I speak this word eye, it is as if I am speaking of somebody’s eye that I faintly remember … . there is no eye — there is only a series of mouths — long live the mouths — your rooftop — if you don’t already know — has been demolished … . eye is plasma & you are right about that too — you are lucky — you don’t have to think about such things as eye & rooftops & quazimodo.”
― Bob Dylan
“It’s a shadowy world, skies are slippery grey. A woman just gave birth to a prince today and dressed him in scarlet. He’ll put the priest in his pocket, put the blade to the heat, take the motherless children off the street and place them at the feet of a harlot.”
“We are so scared of losing everything that doesn’t mean anything.”
― Bob Dylan
“I’m just average, common too. I’m just like him and the same as you. I’m everybody’s brother and son. I’m no different than anyone.”
Bob Dylan – Talking WWIII Blues”
“Well, the devil’s in the alley, mule’s in the stall
