I need a Bob Dylan line for my classroom

Two from Mr. Tambourine Man:

"And but for the sky there are no fences facing."

"Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves
Let me forget about today until tomorrow."

For something a bit absurd, one from Yea! Heavy And A Bottle Of Bread:

"Well, the comic book and me, just us, we caught the bus"

 

I sat my monkey on a log
Ordered him to do the dog
He wagged his tail and shook his head
Went and did the cat instead
He's a weird monkey
Very funky

 

The suspense is killing me.

(and that's me, not Bob Dylan)

 

My patron saint is fighting with a ghost.

 

So many great quotes. I thank you all. I took the top 12 (that I liked and were appropriate and not jokes) and showed them to my kids, discussing every one.

The winner:

May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
May you stay
Forever young

They said they liked the imagery of the stars. I'll post a pic when the ceiling tile is up in my room. Thank you all! I really appreciate the suggestions.

 

to live outside the law you must be honest

 

Now that's one I wouldn't impart to middle-school kids.

 

And I hope that she's reading "King Lear", but it's "Twelfth Night" instead.

Go with Al

 

Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky
With one hand waving free

 

I need a dump truck to unload my head
The sun is not yellow, it's chicken

 

The only valid answer lies in my signature...

 

I'm sure it has already been suggested but:
"he who is not busy being born is busy dying"

 

I always warmed to 'Are you willing to risk it all, or is your love in vain...?'. Nothing too ambiguous there. Nothing too clever-clever. Bob could speak common sense when required.

 

I think they made a great choice.
