I dont think the human mind can comprehend the past and the future. They are both just illusions that can manipulate you into thinking theres some kind of change. – Bob Dylan

Maybe in the 90s or possibly in the next century people will look upon the 80s as the age of masturbation, when it was taken to the limit; that might be all thats going on right now in a big way. – Bob Dylan
Democracy dont rule the world, you better get that in your head; this world is ruled by violence, but I guess thats better left unsaid. – Bob Dylan
I dont think the Palestinian people or Afghan children or some other things Im concerned about are at the top of other peoples agendas – not right now, when America is going through such a recession and people are suffering across the board financially. But I think all that will change. – Patti Smith
We think that democracy can change a lot of things, but were being fooled, because democracy is not the election. Weve been taught that democracy is having elections. And it isnt. Elections are the most horrendous aspect of democracy. Its the most mundane, trivial, disappointing, dirty aspect. – Gael Garcia Bernal
