More quotes by 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
Noise is an imposition on sanity, and we live in very noisy times.
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
I have heard more than once, 'Shut up and sing!' and I get it now.
Joan Baez
If it's natural to kill, how come men have to go into training to learn how?
Joan Baez
If you're gonna sing meaningful songs, you have to be committed to living a life that backs that up.
Joan Baez
The point on nonviolence is to build a floor, a strong new floor, beneath which we can no longer sink.
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
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
As we know, forgiveness of oneself is the hardest of all the forgivenesses.
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
I have hope in people, in individuals. Because you don't know what's going to rise from the ruins.
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
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
All of us are survivors, but how many of us transcend survival?
Joan Baez
I've never had a humble opinion. If you've got an opinion, why be humble about it?
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
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
Nonviolence is a flop. The only bigger flop is violence.
Joan Baez
