Quotes from Bob Dylan

May God bless and keep you always, May your wishes all come true, May you always do for others And let others do for you. May you build a ladder to the stars And climb on every rung, May you stay forever young

You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.

If you want to keep your memories, you first have to live them.

Some people seem to fade away but then when they are truly gone, it's like they didn't fade away at all.

DESTINY is a feeling you have that you know something about yourself nobody else does. The picture you have in your own mind of what you're about WILL COME TRUE. It's a kind of a thing you kind of have to keep to your own self, because it's a fragile feeling, and you put it out there, then someone will kill it. It's best to keep that all inside.

Then take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind, Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves, The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach, Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow. Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free, Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands, With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves, Let me forget about today until tomorrow.

Gotta head full of ideas that are driving me insane...

If you told the truth, that was all well and good and if you told the un-truth, well, that's still well and good. Folk songs had taught me that.

Truth is like a waterslide-only fun when it's slippery and wet.

Technology to wipe out truth is now available. Not everybody can afford it but it's available. When the cost comes down, look out!

The truth was obscure, Too profound and too pure, To live it you had to explode

To live outside the law, you must be honest.

I'm not going to read any of these magazines. I mean, because they've just got too much to lose by printing the truth. You know that.

The more you act the further you get away from the truth.

Freedom just around the corner for you, but with the truth so far off, what good will it do?

A noble truth is a sacred creed.

The truth that I am seeking is in your missing file.

You hurt the ones that I love best and cover up the truth with lies. One day you'll be in the ditch, flies buzzin' around your eyes.

The enemy is subtle, how be it we are so deceived, when truth's in our hearts and we still don't believe.

It frightens me, the awful truth, of how sweet life can be...
