More quotes by Pete Seeger
The real meaning of courage was the personal sacrifice of Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King.
Pete Seeger
And when one person taps out a beat, while another leads into the melody, or when three people discover a harmony they never knew existed, or a crowd joins in on a chorus as though to raise the ceiling a few feet higher, then they also know there is hope for the world.
Pete Seeger
I fought for peace in the fifties.
Pete Seeger
The good and bad are all tangled up together. American popular music is loved around the world because of its African rhythm. But that wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for slavery.
Pete Seeger
After visits to several Communist countries (USSR, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Slovenia, East Germany, Vietnam, China, Cuba), I feel strongly that most revolutionary types around the world don't realize the importance of freedom of the press and the air, a right to peaceably assemble and discuss anything, including the dangers of such discussions.
Pete Seeger
Song, songs kept them going and going They didn't realize the millions of seeds they were sowing. They were singing in marches, even singing in jail. Songs gave them the courage to believe they would not fail.
Pete Seeger
John McCutcheon is not only one of the best musicians in the USA, but also a great singer, songwriter, and song leader. And not just incidentally, he is committed to helping hard-working people everywhere to organize and push this world in a better direction.
Pete Seeger
The truth is a rabbit in a bramble patch. All you can do is circle around and say it's somewhere in there.
Pete Seeger
The first step in solving a problem is admitting there is a problem to be solved.
Pete Seeger
I decline to discuss, under compulsion, where I have sung, and who has sung my songs, and who else has sung with me, and the people I have known.
Pete Seeger
However, the agricultural revolution took thousands of years, the Industrial Revolution took hundreds, and the information revolution only took decades. So, who knows what's going to happen in the next few decades, especially with the women's revolution.
Pete Seeger
Be wary of great leaders.
Pete Seeger
I love my country very dearly, and I greatly resent the implication that some of the places I have sung and some of the people that I have known, and some of my opinions, whether they are religious or philosophical, or I might be a vegetarian, make me any less of an American.
Pete Seeger
My mother gave me a ukulele at age eight, and I sang the popular tunes of the day.
Pete Seeger
I'd really rather put songs on people's lips than in their ears.
Pete Seeger
It's a terrible thing being a patriarch. I don't even have a gray beard. But people keep calling me up for advice.
Pete Seeger
Parents are the hardest-working members of the population. But they do it for the highest wages. Kisses.
Pete Seeger
Like most teachers, I'm just another sower of seeds.
Pete Seeger
Long live teachers of children, because they can show children how they can save the world.
Pete Seeger
According to my definition of God, I'm not an atheist. Because I think God is everything. Whenever I open my eyes I'm looking at God. Whenever I'm listening to something I'm listening to God.
