Applause, applause, life is our cause.
Joni Mitchell
I could drink a case of you, darlin'...and I would still be on my feet, yes I would still be on my feet.
Joni Mitchell
I've looked at life from both sides now...from win and lose, and still somehow it's life's illusions I recall I really don't know life at all.
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
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
We call for the three great stimulants of the exhausted ones, artifice, brutality, and innocence.

Joni Mitchell
I like my freedom. I like to do my own grocery shopping. People do recognize you. They are kind of shocked. Some people like it. It makes them feel at ease. It confirms their hopes that you are in fact similar to them.
Joni Mitchell
What I do is unusual: chordal movements that have never been used before, changing keys and modalities mid-song.
Joni Mitchell

Joni Mitchell
Happiness is the best facelift.
Joni Mitchell
I assume there must be some kind of genetic thrust. My two grandmothers were very different, but both of them were frustrated musicians.
Joni Mitchell
I see the entire world as Eden, and every time you take an inch of it away, you must do so with respect.
Joni Mitchell
I heard someone from the music business saying they are no longer looking for talent, they want people with a certain look and a willingness to cooperate.
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
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
