More quotes by Joni Mitchell

Joni Mitchell
But now old friends are acting strange They shake their heads, they say I've changed Well something's lost, but something's gained In living every day
Joni Mitchell

Joni Mitchell
They used to laugh at me when I refused to ride on all those double decker buses, all because there was no driver on the top.
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
I create by feeling rather than by intellectualizing.
Joni Mitchell
Does the moon play only silver when it strums the galaxy?
Joni Mitchell
I'm drinking champagne, got the head phones up high, can't numb you out.
Joni Mitchell
Love is a very hard feeling to keep alive. It's a very fragile plant.
Joni Mitchell
We'll laugh and toast to nothing, and smash our empty glasses down.
Joni Mitchell
I don't know who I am but you know, life is for learning.
Joni Mitchell
Lord, there's danger in this land, you get witch hunts and wars when church and state hold hands.
Joni Mitchell
