Bob Dylan

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

Well, the future for me is already a thing of the past.

I have dined with kings, I’ve been offered wings. And I’ve never been too impressed.

A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do.

You know I don’t wanna come on ungrateful, but that warren report, you know as well as me, just didn’t make it. You know, like they might as well have asked some banana salesman from des moines, who was up in toronto on the big day, if he saw anyone around looking suspicious…

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

How many legs does a dog have, if you call the tail a leg? Four. Calling a tail a leg doesn’t make it a leg.

There can be no lasting peace where hatred exists. Hatreds will continue to arise as long as the causes of war are not rooted out and exposed.

Do you want to be right or do you want to be happy?

You learn from a conglomeration of the incredible past — whatever experience gotten in any way whatsoever.

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

If I had to live my life again, I’d make the same mistakes, only sooner.

Chaos is a friend of mine.

I don’t believe in geniuses, I believe in hard work.

Civilization is a stream with banks. The stream is sometimes filled with blood from people killing, stealing, shouting and doing the things historians usually record, while on the banks, unnoticed, people build homes, make love, raise children, sing songs, write poetry and even whittle statues. The story of civilization is what happened on the banks.

The radical of one century is the conservative of the next. The radical invents the views. When he has worn them out, the conservative adopts them.

Everyone is a genius at least once a year. The real geniuses simply have their bright ideas closer together.

As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters.

A great wind is blowing, and that gives you either imagination or a headache.

Invention is the mother of necessity.

Don’t find fault, find a remedy; anybody can complain.
