“Look at the sun sinkin' like a ship. Ain't that just like my heart, babe. When you kissed my lips?”
“Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?”
“Well, I try my best to be just like I am,But everybody wants you to be just like them,They sing while you slave and I just get bored”
“Environment affects me a great deal. A lot of the songs were written after the sun went down. And I like storms, I like to stay up during a storm. I get very meditative sometimes, and this one phrase was going through my head: `Work while the day lasts, because the night of death cometh when no man can work.' I don't recall where I heard it. I like preaching, I hear a lot of preaching, and I probably just heard it somewhere. Maybe it's in Psalms, it beats me. But it wouldn't let me go. I was, like, what does that phrase mean?

“You've got a lotta nerve to say you are my friend. When I was down you just stood there a grinin”
“Well my ship’s been split to splinters and it’s sinkin' fast I’m drownin’ in the poison, got no future, got no past But my heart is not weary, it’s light and it’s free I’ve got nothin’ but affection for all those who’ve sailed with meEverybody movin’ if they ain’t already there Everybody got to move somewhere Stick with me baby, stick with me anyhow Things should start to get interestin' right about nowMy clothes are wet, tight on my skin Not as tight as the corner that I painted myself in I know that fortune is waitin’ to be kind So give me your hand and say you’ll be mineWell, the emptiness is endless, cold as the clay You can always come back, but you can’t come back all the way Only one thing I did wrong Stayed in Mississippi a day too long -Bob Dylan, “Mississippi”
“If you think the summer sun is too hot, just remember, at least you don't have to shovel it.”
