You hear a lot about God these days: God, the beneficent; God, the all-great; God, the Almighty; God, the most powerful; God, the giver of life; God, the creator of death. I mean, we’re hearing about God all the time, so we better learn how to deal with it. But if we know anything about God, God is arbitrary.
The future for me is already a thing of the past –
You were my first love and you will be my last
I define nothing. Not beauty, not patriotism. I take each thing as it is, without prior rules about what it should be.
There’s only one day at a time here, then it’s tonight and then tomorrow will be today again.
Even if you don’t have all the things you want, be grateful for the things you don’t have that you don’t want (Bob Dylan’s dad)
You better start swimming, or you’ll sink like a stone. Because the Time’s they are a-changing.
Here’s the thing with me and the religious thing. This is the flat-out truth: I find the religiosity and philosophy in the music. I don’t find it anywhere else.
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.
There’s only one day at a time here, then it’s tonight and then tomorrow will be today again.
Life is more or less a lie, but then again, that’s exactly the way we want it to be.
