This is the Robert Allen Zimmerman ( Bob Dylan)'s  Verses, Collected Through His Often time whispers, that
passes through the silence of the ears of the media journalists, well I consider Mr. Dylan, A perfect poet, and
symbolic speaker of our generation, to the next century, how the west was, what was Vietnam's significance,
and above all the relationship between men and women, and the minority people's right. His words are charismatic
as well as nostalgic to the old and the new generation. Of course his Grandchildren Nominate " World's Greatest Grandpa" Sticker
on his car, I would reconsider him for the Nobel Prize For The English Literature and his contributions to
the American Literature, when Americans Have Brutally Lost their Identity (viz. Kabul, Iraq,Kuwait, Vietnam) ,
with their misrepresented identity as a lost citizen, in the world of individualism, industrialism, and the radical
communist manifesto that was ignored my many of the Americans in the past, in their political direction, which have
dramatically changed their instance in the past, I think unlike most of the songs today, Bob Dylan's poems
have a perfect reflection of the society, which have made the most progressive path, has some flaws that remain
within some in groups that have kept the viewpoint among themselves, I think he is the true speaker of our generation and
a well predictor of the social events.
Finally I would like to  Quote my favorite quotes That are the mere reflections of
the American Society even now "  A white man walking a black dog ", "Where Black (Death) is The Color
and None (Uncountable) is the Number".

I think of a hero as someone who understands the degree of responsibility that comes with his freedom.

 

What's money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do.

 

When you feel in your gut what you are and then dynamically pursue it - don't back down and don't give up - then you're going to mystify a lot of folks.

 

The radio makes hideous sounds.

 

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

 

Take care of all your memories. For you cannot relive them.

 

People today are still living off the table scraps of the '60s. They are still being passed around - the music and the ideas.

 

People seldom do what they believe in. They do what is convenient, then repent.

 

Money doesn't talk, it swears.

 

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

 

Maybe in the '90s or possibly in the next century people will look upon the '80s as the age of masturbation, when it was taken to the limit; that might be all that's going on right now in a big way.

 

If I wasn't Bob Dylan, I'd probably think that Bob Dylan has a lot of answers myself.

 

It rubs me the wrong way, a camera . . . It's a frightening thing . . . Cameras make ghosts out of people.

 

I'm speaking for all of us. I'm the spokesman for a generation.

 

I've never written a political song. Songs can't save the world. I've gone through all that.

 

I think a poet is anybody who wouldn't call himself a poet.

 

I say there're no depressed words, just depressed minds.

 

I like America, just as everybody else does. I love America, I gotta say that. But America will be judged.

 

I define nothing. Not beauty, not patriotism. I take each thing as it is, without prior rules about what it should be.

 

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 there's some kind of change.

 

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.

 

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

 

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

 

All I can do is be me, whoever that is.

 

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

 

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

 

Chaos is a friend of mine.

 

Being on tour is like being in limbo. It's like going from nowhere to nowhere.

 

A lot of people can't stand touring, but to me it's like breathing. I do it because I'm driven to do it.

 

A mistake is to commit a misunderstanding.

 

Being noticed can be a burden. Jesus got himself crucified because he got himself noticed. So I disappear a lot.

 

Basically you have to suppress your own ambitions in order to be who you need to be.

 

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

 

I've only written four songs in my whole life, but I've written those four songs a million times.

 

I wasn't a good husband . . . I don't even know what a good husband is.

 

[on why he renounced his faith in Christianity] Because I felt so damned guilty all the time.

 

[on his song "Everything Is Broken"] Critics usually don't like a song like this coming out of me because it didn't seem to be autobiographical. Maybe not, but the stuff I write does come from an autobiographical place.

 

[when asked what his songs are "about"] Oh, some are about four minutes; some are about five, and some, believe it or not, are about 11 or 12.

 

[from his acceptance speech for a lifetime achievement award at the Grammys in 1991] Well, my daddy, he didn't leave me much, you know he was a very simple man, but what he did tell me was this, he did say, "Son," he said, "you know it's possible to become so defiled in this world that your own father and mother will abandon you, and if that happens, God will always believe in your ability to mend your ways.

 

I know there are groups at the top of the charts that are hailed as the saviors of rock 'n' roll and all that, but they are amateurs. They don't know where the music comes from . . . I wouldn't even think about playing music if I was born in these times . . . I'd probably turn to something like mathematics. That would interest me. Architecture would interest me. Something like that.

 

They'd like to use my tunes for different beer companies and perfumes and automobiles. I get approached on all that stuff. But, shit, I didn't write them for that reason. That's never been my scene.

 

You can't be wise and in love at the same time.

 

I can move, and fake. I know some of the tricks and it all applies artistically, not politically or philosophically.

 

[on the legendary Woodstock Festival] I didn't want to be part of that thing. I liked the town. I felt they exploited the shit out of that, going up there and getting 15 million people all in the same spot. That don't excite me. The flower generation - is that what it was? I wasn't into that at all. I just thought it was a lot of kids out and around wearing flowers in their hair taking a lot of acid.

 

[on a visit to Israel in the early 1970s] There was no great significance to that visit, but I'm interested in the fact that Jews are Semites, like Babylonians, Hittites, Arabs, Syrians, Ethiopians. But a Jew is different because a lot of people hate Jews. There's something going on here that's hard to explain.

 

Those are songs from the Tree of Life. There's no love on the Tree of Life. Love is on the Tree of Knowledge, the Tree of Good and Evil. So we have a lot of songs in popular music about love. Who needs them? Not you, not me. You can use love in a lot of ways in which it will come back to hurt you. Love is a democratic principle. It's a Greek thing.

 

The bootleg records, those are outrageous. I mean, they have stuff you do in a phone booth. Like, nobody's around. If you're just sitting and strumming in a motel, you don't think anybody's there, you know . . . it's like the phone is tapped and then it appears on a bootleg record. With a cover that's got a picture of you taken from underneath your bed and it's got a striptease-type title and it costs $30. Amazing. Then you wonder why most artists feel so paranoid.

 

You don't necessarily have to write to be a poet. Some people work in gas stations and they're poets. I don't call myself a poet because I don't like the word. I'm a trapeze artist.

 

[about Woody Guthrie] His influence on me was never in inflection or in voice. What drew me to was that hearing his voice, I could tell he was very lonesome, very alone and very lost in his time. That's why I dug him.

 

[1966] It's the thing to do, to tell all the teeny-boppers, "I dig The Beatles" and you sing a song like "Yesterday" or "Michelle". Hey, God knows, it's such a cop-out, man, both of those songs. If you go into the Library of Congress, you'll find stuff a lot better than that. There are millions of songs like "Michelle" or "Yesterday" written in Tin Pan Alley.

 

I think of myself as a song-and-dance man.

 

What the songwriter does is just connect the dots. The ends he sees and the ones given to him and he connects them.

 

Art is the perpetual motion of illusion. The highest purpose of art is to inspire. What else can you do? What else can you do for anyone but to inspire them?

 

My childhood is so far away . . . it's like I don't even remember being a child. I think it was someone else who was a child.

 

People can learn everything about me through my songs, if they know where to look.

 

[on his hometown of Hibbing, MN] The town didn't have a rabbi, and it was time for me to be bar mitzvahed. Suddenly a rabbi showed up under strange circumstances for only a year. He and his wife got off the bus in the middle of winter. He showed up just in time for me to learn this stuff. He was an old man from Brooklyn who had a white beard and wore a black hat and black clothes. They put him upstairs above the café, which was the local hangout. It was a rock and roll café where I used to hang out, too. I use to go up there every day to learn the stuff, either after school or after dinner. After studying with him an hour or so, I'd come down and boogie.

 

When I first heard [Elvis Presley's] voice I just knew that I wasn't going to work for anybody; and nobody was going to be my boss. Hearing him for the first time was like busting out of jail.

 

The closest I ever got to the sound I hear in my mind was on individual bands in the "Blonde on Blonde" album. It's that thin, that wild mercury sound. It's metallic and bright gold, with whatever that conjures up. That's my particular sound. I haven't been able to succeed in getting it all the time. Mostly I've been driving at a combination of guitar, harmonica and organ.

 

My friend's wife is a really bad cook. I broke a tooth on her coffee.

 

[on Bob Seger] Some people think Bob is a poor man's Bruce Springsteen, but personally I always thought Bruce was the rich man's Bob Seger. Love 'em both, though.

 

I always thought I might want to be a doctor. Where else could you ask a woman to take off her clothes and send a bill to her husband?

 

I always liked songs with parentheses in the title.

 

The harmonica is the world's best-selling musical instrument. You're welcome.

 

I'm not ashamed to say that I lived my life to that code. Quite a man, that Gene Autry.

 

Lipstick traces on cigarettes can get you in trouble or remind you of the wonders of the night before.

 

Not all songs about crying are necessarily sad.

 

A giraffe can go a long time without water. But he wants to see the menu right away.

 

[on Joni Mitchell] Joni and I go back a long ways. Not all the way back, but pretty far. I've been in a car with Joni. Joni was driving a Lincoln. Excellent driver. I felt safe.

 

[on Johnny Cash, in 2005] Johnny Cash was more like a religious figure to me. Just the fact that he'd sing one of my songs was unthinkable.

 

Things will have to change. And one of these things that will have to change: People will have to change their internal world.

 

I don't consider myself an educator or an explainer. You see what it is that I do, and that I've always done. But it is time now for great men to come forward. With small men, no great things can be accomplished at the moment.

 

He does me better than anybody. (On Mark Knopfler)

 

Right now, America is in a state of upheaval. Poverty is demoralizing. You can't expect people to have the virtue of purity when they are poor. But we've got this guy there now who is redefining what a politician is, so we'll have to see how things play out. Am I hopeful? Yes, I'm hopeful that things might change. Some things are going to have to. - on Barack Obama

 

Charlton gets a bad rap for his strong conservative beliefs and involvement with the NRA, but truth to tell, he was a strong advocate for civil rights, many years before it became fashionable ... Never mind the fact that he's in a couple of our favorite movies, including Touch of Evil (1958), The Big Country (1958), Planet of the Apes (1968) and of course, Soylent Green (1973). - Following the death of Charlton Heston

 

(On his songs today) I just come down the line too far to make any superfluous song. I mean, I'm sure I've made enough of them, or that I've got enough superfluous lines in a lot of songs. But I've kind of passed that point. I have to impress myself first, and unless I'm speaking in a certain language to my own self, I don't feel anything less than that will do for the public, really.
