More quotes by Joni Mitchell
Love is a very hard feeling to keep alive. It's a very fragile plant.
Joni Mitchell

Joni Mitchell
I know my generation - a lot of them, they're getting old now, and they want to think back fondly, they want to kid themselves. A lot of them think, 'Yeah, we were the best.' That's the kiss of death. That's non-growth. And also that's very bad for the world.
Joni Mitchell
All my battles were with male egos. I’m just looking for equality, not to dominate. But I want to be able to control my vision.
Joni Mitchell

Joni Mitchell

Joni Mitchell
People were very protective of me. Overly so. I was in the industry for a long time before I had any idea of what drugs people were doing.
Joni Mitchell
A little lawyer on the tube, he said, its so easy now, anyone can sue.
Joni Mitchell
They paved paradise and put up a parkin lot With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you got till it's gone
Joni Mitchell
They took all the trees and put them in a tree museum.
Joni Mitchell
Once I got the open tunings for some reason, I began to get the harmonic sophistication that I heard that my musical fountain inside was excited by. Once I got some interesting chords to play with, my writing began to come.
Joni Mitchell
Lazy reviewers look up other people's reviews and they write the same thing, so you get people writing crap based on crap.
Joni Mitchell
I live in a box of paints I'm frightened by the devil And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
Joni Mitchell
During times like these, the wise are influential.
Joni Mitchell
I have always thought of myself as a painter derailed by circumstance.
Joni Mitchell
Elusive dreams and vague desires fanned to fiery needs by deadly deeds of falling empires.
Joni Mitchell
