Joni Mitchell
We are stardust, we are golden and we've got to get ourselves back to the garden.
Joni Mitchell
You wake up one day and suddenly realize that your youth is behind you, even though you're still young at heart.
Joni Mitchell
Yesterday a child came out to wonder Caught a dragonfly inside a jar Fearful when the sky was full of thunder And tearful at the falling of a star
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
You win the lasting laurels with your laughter.
Joni Mitchell
I'm a painter first, and a musician second.
Joni Mitchell
