Bob Dylan

Play it f**kin’ loud!

Well, I don’t know, but I’ve been told the streets in heaven are lined with gold. I ask you how things could get much worse if the Russians happen to get up there first; Wowee! pretty scary!

I’ll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours.

I consider myself a poet first and a musician second. I live like a poet and I’ll die like a poet.

Maybe in the 90s or possibly in the next century people will look upon the 80s as the age of masturbation, when it was taken to the limit; that might be all that’s going on right now in a big way.

At times in my life the only place I have been happy is when I am on stage.

I do not believe that material accumulation is the whole of success, and on the other hand I do not believe that true success ever excludes a sufficient possession of wealth-but wealth as a means, not as an end.

I know the look of an apple that is roasting and sizzling on the hearth on a winter’s evening, and I know the comfort that comes of eating it hot, along with some sugar and a drench of cream… I know how the nuts taken in conjunction with winter apples, cider, and doughnuts, make old people’s tales and old jokes sound fresh and crisp and enchanting.

If you take responsibility for yourself you will develop a hunger to accomplish your dreams.

Sometimes you win and sometimes you learn.

We don’t see things as they are. We see things as we are.

I never wanted this kind of life that I’m still living.

What I greatly hope for these children everywhere, is a new attitude toward life–free from the gullibility which thinks we can get something for nothing; free from the greed which thinks any permanent good can come of overreaching others; and, above all, expectant of change, so that when life gives them a jolt they will be fully prepared to push on eagerly along new lines.

Time wounds all heels.

Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes.
