Bob Dylanis an American singer-songwriter, artist and writer. He has been influential in popular music and culture for more than five decades. Much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s when his songs chronicled social unrest, although Dylan repudiated suggestions from journalists that he was a spokesman for his generation.

Oh, time is short and the days are sweet and passion rules the arrow that flies.
Black is the Color and none is the number
Now, each of us has his own special gift And you know this was meant to be true. And if you don't underestimate me I won't underestimate you.
May you build a ladder to the stars and climb on every rung. May you stay forever young.
I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes. You'd know what a drag it is to see you.
Take me disappearing, through the smoke rings of my mind, down the foggy ruins of time...
Don't matter how much money you got, there's only two kinds of people: there's saved people and there's lost people.
My best songs were written very quickly. Just about as much time as it takes to write it down is about as long as it takes to write it...In writing songs I've learned as much from Cezanne as I have from Woody Guthrie...It's not me, it's the songs.

Well, I don't know, but I've been told the streets in heaven are lined with gold. I ask you how things could get much worse if the Russians happen to get up there first; Wowee! pretty scary!
Art can lead you to God. I think that's the purpose of everything. If it's not doing that, what's it doing? It's leading you the other way. It's certainly not leading you nowhere.
Whatever colors you have in your mind, I'll show them to you and you'll see them shine.
You better start swimming, or you'll sink like a stone. Because the Time's they are a-changing.
Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting If I could hear his heart softly pounding Yes, and only if he was lying by me Would I lie in my bed once again.
Walkin' through the leaves fallin' from the trees, Feelin' like a stranger nobody sees...
