Only you and I can help the sun rise each coming morning. If we don't, it may drench itself out in sorrow.

More quotes by Joan Baez
If you don't have music, you have silence. There is power in both.
Joan Baez
I was trying to disturb the war.
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
As long as we keep searching, the answers come.
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
Sometimes I get lonesome for a storm. A fullblown storm where everything changes.
Joan Baez
I went to jail for 11 days for disturbing the peace I was trying to disturb the war.
Joan Baez
Noise is an imposition on sanity, and we live in very noisy times.
Joan Baez
We're not really pacifists, we're nonviolent soldiers.
Joan Baez
All of us are survivors, but how many of us transcend survival?
Joan Baez
The foundation of my beliefs is the same as it was when I was 10. Non-violence.
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
The easiest kind of relationship for me is with ten thousand people. The hardest is with one.
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've never had a humble opinion. If you've got an opinion, why be humble about it?
Joan Baez
I've been obsessed with stopping people from blowing each other's brains out since I was ten.
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
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
The point on nonviolence is to build a floor, a strong new floor, beneath which we can no longer sink.
Joan Baez
I didn't study anything really. I didn't learn out of the books because I couldn't read music very well, so it is what they say it is - you learn from other people. And my cohorts and I would sneak around the coffee shops and hear stuff we wanted to learn, and then you ask whoever was playing it to teach you.
Joan Baez
