Bob Dylan
American folk and rock singer-songwriter, born in Duluth, Minnesota.
When you cease to exist, then who will you blame?
And Louise holds a handful of rain, tempting you to defy it.
You can have your cake and eat it, too.
I didn't know whether to duck or to run, so I ran.
With your sheets like metal and your belt like lace,
And your deck of cards missing the jack and the ace,
And your basement clothes and your hollow face,
Who among them can think he could outguess you?
Somebody got lucky, but it was an accident.
We always did feel the same, we just saw it from a different point of view...
It’s not a character like in a book or a movie. He’s not a bus driver. He doesn’t drive a forklift. He’s not a serial killer. It’s me who’s singing that, plain and simple. We shouldn’t confuse singers and performers with actors. Actors will say, “My character this, and my character that.” Like beating a dead horse. Who cares about the character? Just get up and act. You don’t have to explain it to me.
Some one else is speaking with my mouth, but I'm listening only to my heart.
The future to me is already a thing of the past.
But if the arrow is straight, And the point is slick, It can pierce through dust no matter how thick.
Don't know how it all got started, I don't know what they do with their lives...
I know where I can find you — in somebody's room. It's the price I have to pay, you're a big girl all the way.
There's lots of pretty girls in Mozambique.
You see, you're just like me. I hope you're satisfied.
A lot of people say there is no work. I say, "Why you say that for?" When nothin' you got is US made, they don't make nothin' here no more.
You can always come back, but you can't come back all the way.
She could take the dark out the nighttime and paint the daytime black.
Take the motherless children off the streets.
I ain't looking for you to feel like me, see like me, or be like me.
