I play these [folk acoustic] concerts and I ask myself, 'Would you come see me tonight?' - and I'd have to answer truthfully, 'No, I wouldn't come. I'd rather be doin' something else, really I would. That something else is rock... The words are pictures, and the rock's gonna help me flesh out the colors of the pictures. (1965)
Bob DylanHow many roads must a man walk down, Before you call him a man? How many seas must a white dove sail, Before she sleeps in the sand? Yes, and how many times must the cannon balls fly, Before they're forever banned?
Bob DylanThey self-inflict punishment on their own broken lives, put their faith in their possessions, in their jobs, or their wives.
Bob Dylan...don't criticize what you can't understand, your sons and your daughters are beyond your command.
