More quotes by 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
All of us are survivors, but how many of us transcend survival?
Joan Baez
Somebody else does the rigor and then I listen. I have an assistant, and my manager, and other people who hunt and find and send it to me, and then I just figure out which ones I can do justice to.
Joan Baez
There is chaos. There's bloodshed. There's carnage.
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
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
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
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
As long as we keep searching, the answers come.
Joan Baez
If you don't have music, you have silence. There is power in both.
Joan Baez
Nonviolence is a flop. The only bigger flop is violence.
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
Sometimes I get lonesome for a storm. A fullblown storm where everything changes.
Joan Baez
Mostly what I listen to when I turn on my little iPod is opera.
Joan Baez
I have heard more than once, 'Shut up and sing!' and I get it now.
Joan Baez
I think the question that nobody wanted to deal with is the question they're posing: did my kid die in vain? Because the answer is too awful.
Joan Baez
The point on nonviolence is to build a floor, a strong new floor, beneath which we can no longer sink.
Joan Baez
Put tattoos all up and down our thighs, do anything our parents would despise. Take uppers, downers, blues, and reds and yellows, our brains are turning into jello.
Joan Baez
I have hope in people, in individuals. Because you don't know what's going to rise from the ruins.
Joan Baez
