Bob Dylan

All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie.

Chaos is a friend of mine.

I am against nature. I don’t dig nature at all. I think nature is very unnatural. I think the truly natural things are dreams, which nature can’t touch with decay.

I’m speaking for all of us. I’m the spokesman for a generation.

Sailing round the world in a dirty gondola oh, to be back in the land of Coca-Cola!

Don’t criticize what you can’t understand.

Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life. (The conviction of the rich that the poor are happier is no more foolish than the conviction of the poor that the rich are.)

It is bad luck to be superstitious.

I’d never met a woman I considered as intelligent as me. That sounds bigheaded, but every woman I met was either a dolly-chick, or a sort of screwed-up intellectual chick. And of course, in the field I was in, I didn’t meet many intellectual people anyway. I always had this dream of meeting an artist, an artist girl who would be like me. And I thought it was a myth, but then I met Yoko and that was it.

Old guys can still do fun things.

A man is as old as his arteries.

Very jaded and tired and depressed and cross…Must fill my mind with air and light, and walk and blanket it in fog.

To err is human, to forgive divine.

No one can be helped unless he can be put in the way of helping himself.

Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not, and a sense of humor was provided to console him for what he is.

What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise.

[on Diana’s Death] I remember just feeling completely numb, disorientated, dizzy.

You need to listen to your body because your body is listening to you.

The fact that man knows right from wrong proves his intellectual superiority to other creatures; but the fact that he can do wrong proves his moral inferiority to any creature that cannot.

They’re different kinds of challenges depending upon what phase of life I’m in.

It is the mind that makes good or ill. That which makes us happy or sad; rich or poor.
