More quotes by 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
If you're gonna sing meaningful songs, you have to be committed to living a life that backs that up.
Joan Baez
There is chaos. There's bloodshed. There's carnage.
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 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
The only thing that's been a worse flop than the organization of nonviolence has been the organization of violence.
Joan Baez
As we know, forgiveness of oneself is the hardest of all the forgivenesses.
Joan Baez
I was addicted to rhythm 'n' blues pretty much directly into folk music. I had my little 45s of mostly black artists. That was as close as I got. I've never listened to heavy rock or stuff that jangles my nerves, because I'm already jangled.
Joan Baez
I was trying to disturb the war.
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
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
Action is the antidote to despair.
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
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
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
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
All of us are survivors, but how many of us transcend survival?
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
The foundation of my beliefs is the same as it was when I was 10. Non-violence.
Joan Baez
