Bob Dylan

What good are fans? You can’t eat applause for breakfast. You can’t sleep with it.

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

Sometimes it’s not enough to know what things mean, sometimes you have to know what things don’t mean.

May your heart always be joyful. May your song always be sung.

Democracy don’t rule the world, you better get that in your head; this world is ruled by violence, but I guess that’s better left unsaid.

When you cease to exist, then who will you blame?

Man has always sacrificed truth to his vanity, comfort and advantage. He lives by makebelieve.

Let them look up in the sky then…! if they must be so blind, that cannot see the truth in broad daylight, but must have the whole world in darkness to see the conceit of the stars…

A man is never more truthful than when he acknowledges himself a liar.

Truth will always be truth, regardless of lack of understanding, disbelief or ignorance.

Most writers regard the truth as their most valuable possession, and therefore are economical in its use.

Any fool can tell the truth, but it requires a man of some sense to know how to lie well.

The honest truth is that every day was new, every day was a challenge, every day was starting from a fresh place, and as time went on, over the course of about two years, things became better and better. But I don’t think that there was for me anything like, ‘Ah, this is taking too long’, because ‘long’ didn’t exist. So I see it as a blessing. I have to laugh. I mean there’s no other way to look at it.

Why shouldn’t truth be stranger than fiction? Fiction, after all, has to make sense.

When in doubt tell the truth.

Lying rides upon debt’s back.

The bullsh*t is more interesting than the truth.

There is no such source of error as the pursuit of truth.

It is a puzzling thing. The truth knocks on the door and you say, ‘Go away, I’m looking for the truth.’ and so it goes away. Puzzling.

Truth emerges more readily from error than from confusion.

Truth is mighty and will prevail. There is nothing wrong with this, except that it ain’t so.
