More quotes by 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
The foundation of my beliefs is the same as it was when I was 10. Non-violence.
Joan Baez
Sometimes I get lonesome for a storm. A fullblown storm where everything changes.
Joan Baez
We're not really pacifists, we're nonviolent soldiers.
Joan Baez
If you don't have music, you have silence. There is power in both.
Joan Baez
I'd hear a tune in my head and the words would come. And then, very suddenly it just stopped. It seemed too stilted to try and learn how to write a song, to go to round robins and to learn things from other people on how to write a song. So I just stopped and did other things.
Joan Baez
Noise is an imposition on sanity, and we live in very noisy times.
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
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
If it's natural to kill, how come men have to go into training to learn how?
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
You may not know it, but at the far end of despair, there is a white clearing where one is almost happy.
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 swing both ways, you really swing. I just figure you double your pleasure.
Joan Baez
As long as we keep searching, the answers come.
Joan Baez
The point on nonviolence is to build a floor, a strong new floor, beneath which we can no longer sink.
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 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
