More quotes by Joan Baez
I have hope in people, in individuals. Because you don't know what's going to rise from the ruins.
Joan Baez
In other words, it is what I do in the world that matters. When I traveled for three months in the Mideast, the places I wanted to go back to were Turkey and the Gaza Strip. It has to do with what Gandhi said: he found God in the eyes of the poor. Those are the places which were so moving that they were just unbearable.
Joan Baez
There's a consensus out that it's OK to kill when your government decides who to kill. If you kill inside the country you get in trouble. If you kill outside the country, right time, right season, latest enemy, you get a medal.
Joan Baez
My life is a crystal teardrop. There are snowflakes falling in the teardrop and little figures trudging in slow motion.
Joan Baez
During the 'ballad' years for me, the politics was latent I was just falling in love with the ballads and my boyfriend. And there was the beauty of the songs.
Joan Baez
If you're gonna sing meaningful songs, you have to be committed to living a life that backs that up.
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 was trying to disturb the war.
Joan Baez
Mostly what I listen to when I turn on my little iPod is opera.
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
If you swing both ways, you really swing. I just figure you double your pleasure.
Joan Baez
I have heard more than once, 'Shut up and sing!' and I get it now.
Joan Baez
I don't think of myself as a symbol of the sixties, but I do think of myself as a symbol of following through on your beliefs.
Joan Baez
As long as we keep searching, the answers come.
Joan Baez
Diamonds & Rust started off as another song. Then the words started to morph. When you write a song that deep, the words come from some place else. But when the songs stop coming, it would be so contrived to try and force it. Since then I've just been doing other people's music.
Joan Baez
We're not really pacifists, we're nonviolent soldiers.
Joan Baez
The foundation of my beliefs is the same as it was when I was 10. Non-violence.
Joan Baez
We both know what memories can bring / They bring diamonds and rust.
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
You may not know it, but at the far end of despair, there is a white clearing where one is almost happy.
Joan Baez
