More quotes by Joan Baez
If you swing both ways, you really swing. I just figure you double your pleasure.
Joan Baez
I've been obsessed with stopping people from blowing each other's brains out since I was ten.
Joan Baez
As we know, forgiveness of oneself is the hardest of all the forgivenesses.
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
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 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
I think the question that nobody wanted to deal with is the question they're posing: did my kid die in vain? Because the answer is too awful.
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
Nonviolence is a flop. The only bigger flop is violence.
Joan Baez
Noise is an imposition on sanity, and we live in very noisy times.
Joan Baez
The only thing that's been a worse flop than the organization of nonviolence has been the organization of violence.
Joan Baez
The foundation of my beliefs is the same as it was when I was 10. Non-violence.
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
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
We both know what memories can bring / They bring diamonds and rust.
Joan Baez
If you don't have music, you have silence. There is power in both.
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 was trying to disturb the war.
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
There's a consensus out that it's OK to kill when your government decides who to kill. If you kill inside the country you get in trouble. If you kill outside the country, right time, right season, latest enemy, you get a medal.
Joan Baez
