Bob Dylan Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Bob Dylan:

I consider myself a poet first and a musician second. I live like a poet and I'll die like a poet.

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

Bob Dylan

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.

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.

Bob Dylan

Money doesn't talk, it swears.

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.

Bob Dylan

People today are still living off the table scraps of the sixties. They are still being passed around - the music and the ideas.

Just because you like my stuff doesn't mean I owe you anything.

What good are fans? You can't eat applause for breakfast. You can't sleep with it.

A poem is a naked person... Some people say that I am a poet.

I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings. And I've never been too impressed.

Bob Dylan

But even the President of the United States sometimes must have to stand naked.

I don't think I've ever been an agnostic. I've always thought there's a superior power, that this is not the real world and that there's a world to come.

Democracy don't rule the world, You'd better get that in your head; This world is ruled by violence, But I guess that's better left unsaid.

Bob Dylan

At times in my life the only place I have been happy is when I am on stage.

Bob Dylan

I accept chaos, I'm not sure whether it accepts me.

When you cease to exist, then who will you blame?
