More quotes by Joan Baez
If you're gonna sing meaningful songs, you have to be committed to living a life that backs that up.
Joan Baez
If you swing both ways, you really swing. I just figure you double your pleasure.
Joan Baez
There's very little I can sing now. When I asked my first voice teacher, who was the best one, When will I know when to stop singing? he said, Your voice will tell you. And it is very, very difficult to sing now.
Joan Baez
I have been true to the principles of nonviolence, developing a stronger and stronger aversion to the ideologies of both the far right and the far left and a deeper sense of rage and sorrow over the suffering they continue to produce all over the world.
Joan Baez
I've been obsessed with stopping people from blowing each other's brains out since I was ten.
Joan Baez
As we know, forgiveness of oneself is the hardest of all the forgivenesses.
Joan Baez
Only you and I can help the sun rise each coming morning. If we don't, it may drench itself out in sorrow.
Joan Baez
My life is a crystal teardrop. There are snowflakes falling in the teardrop and little figures trudging in slow motion.
Joan Baez
The longer you practice nonviolence and the meditative qualities of it that you will need, the more likely you are to do something intelligent in any situation.
Joan Baez
If it's natural to kill, how come men have to go into training to learn how?
Joan Baez
We're not really pacifists, we're nonviolent soldiers.
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
As long as we keep searching, the answers come.
Joan Baez
The foundation of my beliefs is the same as it was when I was 10. Non-violence.
Joan Baez
The only thing that's been a worse flop than the organization of nonviolence has been the organization of violence.
Joan Baez
I've never had a humble opinion. If you've got an opinion, why be humble about it?
Joan Baez
I went to jail for 11 days for disturbing the peace I was trying to disturb the war.
Joan Baez
Nonviolence is a flop. The only bigger flop is violence.
Joan Baez
I didn't study anything really. I didn't learn out of the books because I couldn't read music very well, so it is what they say it is - you learn from other people. And my cohorts and I would sneak around the coffee shops and hear stuff we wanted to learn, and then you ask whoever was playing it to teach you.
Joan Baez
I have heard more than once, 'Shut up and sing!' and I get it now.
Joan Baez
