Bob Dylan

“A hero is someone who understands the responsibility that comes with his freedom.”

“I define nothing. Not beauty, not patriotism. I take each thing as it is, without prior rules about what it should be.”

“I paint mostly from real life. It has to start with that. Real people, real street scenes, behind the curtain scenes, live models, paintings, photographs, staged setups, architecture, grids, graphic design. Whatever it takes to make it work.”

“All this talk about equality. The only thing people really have in common is that they are all going to die.”

“You hear a lot about God these days: God, the beneficent; God, the all-great; God, the Almighty; God, the most powerful; God, the giver of life; God, the creator of death. I mean, we're hearing about God all the time, so we better learn how to deal with it. But if we know anything about God, God is arbitrary.”

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

“He not busy being born is busy dying.”

“I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours.”

“I don't think the human mind can comprehend the past and the future. They are both just illusions that can manipulate you into thinking theres some kind of change.”

“I am against nature. I don't dig nature at all. I think nature is very unnatural. I think the truly natural things are dreams, which nature can't touch with decay.”

“Death to me means nothing as long as I can die fast.”

“I change during the course of a day. I wake and I'm one person, and when I go to sleep I know for certain I'm somebody else.”

“My father probably thought the capital of the world was wherever he was at the time. It couldn't possibly be anyplace else. Where he and his wife were in their own home, that, for them, was the capital of the world.”

“I think of a hero as someone who understands the degree of responsibility that comes with his freedom.”

“There is nothing so stable as change.”
