More quotes by Joan Baez
As long as we keep searching, the answers come.
Joan Baez
Nonviolence is a flop. The only bigger flop is violence.
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
All of us are survivors, but how many of us transcend survival?
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
Social change really cannot happen unless people are willing to take a risk, and they were. And I was so moved by that, and of course by the way that he spoke, that made a huge dent in my belief system and my spirit.
Joan Baez
If you're gonna sing meaningful songs, you have to be committed to living a life that backs that up.
Joan Baez
We're not really pacifists, we're nonviolent soldiers.
Joan Baez
If you don't have music, you have silence. There is power in both.
Joan Baez
I was writing Diamonds and Rust' and it had nothing to do with what it turned out to be. I don't remember what it is, but I think I was writing a song. It was literally interrupted by a phone call, and it just took another curve and it came out to be what it was.
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 never had a humble opinion. If you've got an opinion, why be humble about it?
Joan Baez
You don't get to choose how you're going to die, or when. You can only decide how you're going to live. Now.
Joan Baez
Sometimes I get lonesome for a storm. A fullblown storm where everything changes.
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
The foundation of my beliefs is the same as it was when I was 10. Non-violence.
Joan Baez
I was trying to disturb the war.
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
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
I've been obsessed with stopping people from blowing each other's brains out since I was ten.
Joan Baez
