“Well, the future for me is already a thing of the past.”
FutureAll Quotes by Bob Dylan
“There is nothing so stable as change.”
Change“I am against nature. I don't dig nature at all. I think nature is very unnatural. I think the truly natural things are dreams, which nature can't touch with decay.”
