I believe in you even on the morning after. - Bob Dylan

All I’d ever done was sing songs that were dead straight and expressed powerful new realities. I had very little in common with and knew even less about a generation that I was supposed to be the voice of. I’d left my hometown only ten years earlier, wasn’t vociferating the opinions of anybody. My destiny lay down the road with whatever life invited, had nothing to do with representing any kind of civilization. Being true to yourself, that was the thing.

Democracy don't rule the world; you'd better get that in your head. This world is ruled by violence.

Look at the sun sinkin' like a ship. Ain't that just like my heart, babe. When you kissed my lips?
