1 " She's got everything she needs; she's an artist, she don't look back. "
― Bob Dylan , Lyrics, 1962-1985
2 " I wish that for just one time you could I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes... Then you'd know what a drag it is to see you. "
3 " There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke. "
4 " When are you gonna wake up and strengthened the things that remain. "
5 " I'm just average, common too. I'm just like him and the same as you. I'm everybody's brother and son. I'm no different than anyone."Bob Dylan - Talking WWIII Blues "
6 " And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?And what did you hear, my darling young one?I heard the sound of a thunder that roared out a warnin'Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole worldHeard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin'Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin'Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin'Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutterHeard the sound of a clown who cried in the alleyAnd it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hardIt's a hard rain's a-gonna fall "
7 " With your sheet-metal memory of Cannery Row, and your magazine-husband who one day just had to go. And your gentleness now, which you just can't help but show - who among them do you think would employ you? Now you stand with your thief, you're on his parole, with your holy medallion which your fingertips fold. And your saintlike face and your ghostlike soul - oh, who among them do you think could destroy you? "
8 " In the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales for the disrobed faceless forms of no position. Tolling for the tongues with no place to bring their thoughts - all down in taken-for-granted situations. Tolling for the deaf an' blind, tolling for the mute, and the mistreated mateless mother, the mistitled prostitute, for the misdemeanor outlaw, chained an' cheated by pursuit. And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing. "
