More quotes by 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're not really pacifists, we're nonviolent soldiers.
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
Action is the antidote to despair.
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
The only thing that's been a worse flop than the organization of nonviolence has been the organization of violence.
Joan Baez
The point on nonviolence is to build a floor, a strong new floor, beneath which we can no longer sink.
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
If you don't have music, you have silence. There is power in both.
Joan Baez
I've been obsessed with stopping people from blowing each other's brains out since I was ten.
Joan Baez
Sometimes I get lonesome for a storm. A fullblown storm where everything changes.
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 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
I went to jail for 11 days for disturbing the peace I was trying to disturb the war.
Joan Baez
All of us are survivors, but how many of us transcend survival?
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
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
If it's natural to kill, how come men have to go into training to learn how?
Joan Baez
There is chaos. There's bloodshed. There's carnage.
Joan Baez
