More quotes by Joan Baez
We're not really pacifists, we're nonviolent soldiers.
Joan Baez
I've never had a humble opinion. If you've got an opinion, why be humble about it?
Joan Baez
The foundation of my beliefs is the same as it was when I was 10. Non-violence.
Joan Baez
We both know what memories can bring / They bring diamonds and rust.
Joan Baez
I have heard more than once, 'Shut up and sing!' and I get it now.
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
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
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
My life is a crystal teardrop. There are snowflakes falling in the teardrop and little figures trudging in slow motion.
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've been obsessed with stopping people from blowing each other's brains out since I was ten.
Joan Baez
Social change really cannot happen unless people are willing to take a risk, and they were. And I was so moved by that, and of course by the way that he spoke, that made a huge dent in my belief system and my spirit.
Joan Baez
I have hope in people, in individuals. Because you don't know what's going to rise from the ruins.
Joan Baez
Sometimes I get lonesome for a storm. A fullblown storm where everything changes.
Joan Baez
I would say that I'm a nonviolent soldier. In place of weapons of violence, you have to use your mind, your heart, your sense of humor, every faculty available to you...because no one has the right to take the life of another human being.
Joan Baez
There is chaos. There's bloodshed. There's carnage.
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
All of us are survivors, but how many of us transcend survival?
Joan Baez
As we know, forgiveness of oneself is the hardest of all the forgivenesses.
Joan Baez
Nonviolence is a flop. The only bigger flop is violence.
Joan Baez
