Bob Dylan

Just because you like my stuff doesn’t mean I owe you anything.

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

Ain’t it just like the night to play tricks when you’re tryin’ to be so quiet?

Jesus tapped me on the shoulder and said, Bob, why are you resisting me? I said, I’m not resisting you! He said, You gonna follow me? I said, I’ve never thought about that before! He said, When you’re not following me, you’re resisting me.

Being noticed can be a burden. Jesus got himself crucified because he got himself noticed. So I disappear a lot.

A mistake is to commit a misunderstanding.

Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.

The books that the world calls immoral are the books that show the world its own shame.

What a guy, what a fool am I, to think my breaking heart could kid the moon.

At this very moment, you may be saying to yourself that you have any number of admirable qualities. You are a loyal friend, a caring person, someone who is smart, dependable, fun to be around. That’s wonderful, and I’m happy for you, but let me ask you this: are you being any of those things to yourself?

You have to name it to claim it.

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see.

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.

Do any of us really have a clue? We don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow. Or what word will come up in a conversation that will change our lives. You can be in the shower and scrubbing under your arm and find a lump that wasn’t there yesterday. I’m doing things here and now. Life is evolving. Every day life evolves.

Life is not about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.

The beautiful thing about learning is nobody can take it away from you.

One side of unhealthy relating is if you are always pursuing or always retreating.

Through our eyes, the universe is perceiving itself. Through our ears, the universe is listening to its harmonies. We are the witnesses through which the universe becomes conscious of its glory, of its magnificence.

The greatest challenge to any thinker is stating the problem in a way that will allow a solution.

Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self.
