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.

Is your money that good, will it buy you forgiveness?

"Like a Rolling Stone" [of Bob Dylan] is a kiss-off song like none before or since.

Popular music had never had lyrical sophistication of this type [like Bob Dylan]; wit, to be sure, but "Darkness at the break of noon/Shadows even the silver spoon/The handmade blade, the child's balloon/Eclipses both the sun and moon/To understand you know too soon/ There is no sense in trying"? No.

The radio makes hideous sounds.

Life has its ups and downs, and time has to be your partner. Really, time is your soul mate.

If ever asked to look at yourself, don't.
