More quotes by Joan Baez
I went to jail for 11 days for disturbing the peace I was trying to disturb the war.
Joan Baez
You may not know it, but at the far end of despair, there is a white clearing where one is almost happy.
Joan Baez
We're not really pacifists, we're nonviolent soldiers.
Joan Baez
The only thing that's been a worse flop than the organization of nonviolence has been the organization of violence.
Joan Baez
Nonviolence is a flop. The only bigger flop is violence.
Joan Baez
As we know, forgiveness of oneself is the hardest of all the forgivenesses.
Joan Baez
Nasty Man isn't a laughing matter, but you have to laugh anyway. The song, itself, becomes something of a laughing matter because we'd go crazy if we didn't keep laughing.
Joan Baez
I'd hear a tune in my head and the words would come. And then, very suddenly it just stopped. It seemed too stilted to try and learn how to write a song, to go to round robins and to learn things from other people on how to write a song. So I just stopped and did other things.
Joan Baez
Action is the antidote to despair.
Joan Baez
The foundation of my beliefs is the same as it was when I was 10. Non-violence.
Joan Baez
I would say that I'm a nonviolent soldier. In place of weapons of violence, you have to use your mind, your heart, your sense of humor, every faculty available to you...because no one has the right to take the life of another human being.
Joan Baez
As long as we keep searching, the answers come.
Joan Baez
I am so disconnected from the world of rock 'n' roll. I was always peripheral, partly because of the drug culture. I was not involved in that.
Joan Baez
We both know what memories can bring / They bring diamonds and rust.
Joan Baez
Sometimes I get lonesome for a storm. A fullblown storm where everything changes.
Joan Baez
We were raised with that discussion about violence and non-violence, and we all pretty much came up on the side of non-violence. That became my foundation with politics and my livelihood.
Joan Baez
I was trying to disturb the war.
Joan Baez
There is chaos. There's bloodshed. There's carnage.
Joan Baez
I've never had a humble opinion. If you've got an opinion, why be humble about it?
Joan Baez
I've been obsessed with stopping people from blowing each other's brains out since I was ten.
Joan Baez
