More quotes by Joni Mitchell
The most important thing is to write in your own blood. I bare intimate feelings because people should know how other people feel.
Joni Mitchell
My childhood was very difficult. I had every childhood disease and then some, but my parents didnt mollycoddle me. They left me to fight those battles on my own. I guess that was very Canadian, very stoic. But its good. I had to become a warrior. I had to give up hope and find a substitute for hope that would be far more stable.

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
When you're trying to pass on the best of the stuff you're culling to what should be a hungry culture but you have it diminished... that's kind of disappointing.
Joni Mitchell
When I think of your kisses my mind see-saws.
Joni Mitchell
And the seasons they go 'round and 'round And the painted ponies go up and down We're captive on the carousel of time We can't return we can only look behind From where we came And go round and round and round In the circle game.
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
I came through folk music simply because it was easy to get into it.
Joni Mitchell
I conceived in art college at the age of 20, near the end of term.
Joni Mitchell
Love is a very hard feeling to keep alive. It's a very fragile plant.
Joni Mitchell
If I'm censoring for anyone, it's for my parents. They are very old-fashioned and moral people. They still don't understand me that well.
Joni Mitchell
