You dont count the dead When Gods on your side — Bob Dylan

"I am a writer an a singer of the words I write I am no speaker nor any politician an my songs speak for me because I write them in the confinement of my own mind an have t cope with no one except my own self."

"do Not create anything, it will be misinterpreted. it will not change. it will follow you the rest of your life."

"I used to think that myself and my songs were the same thing. But I dont believe that any more. Theres myself and theres my song, which I hope is everybodys song."

"a poem is a naked person . . . some people say that I am a poet"

"Hes a pinboy. He also wears suspenders. Hes a real person. You know him, but not by that name... I saw him come into the room one night and he looked like a camel. He proceeded to put his eyes in his pocket. I asked this guy who he was and he said, "Thats Mr. Jones." Then I asked this cat, "Doesnt he do anything but put his eyes in his pocket?" And he told me, "He puts his nose on the ground." Its all there, its a true story."

"You dont necessarily have to write to be a poet. Some people work in gas stations and theyre poets. I dont call myself a poet because I dont like the word. Im a trapeze artist."
