More quotes by Joan Baez
As long as we keep searching, the answers come.
Joan Baez
The foundation of my beliefs is the same as it was when I was 10. Non-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
There is chaos. There's bloodshed. There's carnage.
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
We both know what memories can bring / They bring diamonds and rust.
Joan Baez
I've been obsessed with stopping people from blowing each other's brains out since I was ten.
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 point on nonviolence is to build a floor, a strong new floor, beneath which we can no longer sink.
Joan Baez
When I was 16, the guest speaker was King. And I was completely overwhelmed because I had been studying nonviolence, talking about it, reading about it, but here it was happening, here it was people boycotting the buses and people on the streets and taking risks, which I think was the key.
Joan Baez
Nonviolence is a flop. The only bigger flop is violence.
Joan Baez
We're not really pacifists, we're nonviolent soldiers.
Joan Baez
Action is the antidote to despair.
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 went to jail for 11 days for disturbing the peace I was trying to disturb the war.
Joan Baez
I've never had a humble opinion. If you've got an opinion, why be humble about it?
Joan Baez
My life is a crystal teardrop. There are snowflakes falling in the teardrop and little figures trudging in slow motion.
Joan Baez
The easiest kind of relationship for me is with ten thousand people. The hardest is with one.
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
