More quotes by Joan Baez
I have heard more than once, 'Shut up and sing!' and I get it now.
Joan Baez
Action is the antidote to despair.
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
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
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
I've been obsessed with stopping people from blowing each other's brains out since I was ten.
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
As we know, forgiveness of oneself is the hardest of all the forgivenesses.
Joan Baez
The easiest kind of relationship for me is with ten thousand people. The hardest is with one.
Joan Baez
Nonviolence is a flop. The only bigger flop is violence.
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
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
All of us are survivors, but how many of us transcend survival?
Joan Baez
If you swing both ways, you really swing. I just figure you double your pleasure.
Joan Baez
I wasn't popular in school, I was Mexican, I was all these inappropriate things. I started playing the ukulele and taking it to school, and I realized people liked listening to it. I would play it to comfort myself at home, and I'd play rhythm and blues songs that had four chords. That's how it started.
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
If it's natural to kill, how come men have to go into training to learn how?
Joan Baez
I've never had a humble opinion. If you've got an opinion, why be humble about it?
Joan Baez
As long as we keep searching, the answers come.
Joan Baez
My life is a crystal teardrop. There are snowflakes falling in the teardrop and little figures trudging in slow motion.
Joan Baez
