Good intentions can be evil, both hands are full of grease. You know, sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace.
Bob DylanIf 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.
Bob DylanBeing singer is different than being an actor, where you call up sources from your own experience that you can apply to whatever Shakespeare drama you're in. But an actor is pretending to be somebody, a singer isn't. And that's the difference. Singers today have to sing songs where there's very little emotion involved. That and the fact that they have to sing hit records from years gone by doesn't leave a lot of room for any kind of intelligent creativity.
Bob DylanWe're constantly being bombarded by insulting and humiliating music, which people are making for you the way they make those Wonder Bread products. Just as food can be bad for your system, music can be bad for your spiritual and emotional feelings. It might taste good or clever, but in the long run, it's not going to do anything for you.
Bob Dylan
