More quotes by Joni Mitchell
Morgellons is constantly morphing. There are times when it's directly attacking the nervous system, as if you're being bitten by fleas and lice. It's all in the tissue and it's not a hallucination. It was eating me alive, sucking the juices out. I've been sick all my life.
Joni Mitchell
All the news of home you read, more about the war and of bloody changes.
Joni Mitchell

Joni Mitchell
Love is a very hard feeling to keep alive. It's a very fragile plant.
Joni Mitchell
You have this mounting aggressive ignorance with the rabbit's foot of their particular religion. You don't really have any kind of spiritual law, just a kind of a rabid mental illness. The songs are a little slice of life.
Joni Mitchell
The thing that started me painting originally was seeing Bambi when I was about nine. I was incredibly disturbed by the forest fire that killed Bambi's mother, and that distress gave me the impulse to create something, as a way of dealing with it.
Joni Mitchell
They took all the trees and put them in a tree museum.
Joni Mitchell
I was anti-intellectual to the nth. Basically I liked to dance and paint, and that was about it.
Joni Mitchell
We'll laugh and toast to nothing, and smash our empty glasses down.
Joni Mitchell
It's life's illusions that I recall, I really don't know life at all
Joni Mitchell
