Joan Baez Quote: “We need to have faith in the people who are giving this movement direction to be smart enough to stay one step ahead of what’s coming up next.”
Joan Baez Quote: “It seems to me that those songs that have been any good, I have nothing much to do with the writing of them. The words have just crawled down my sleeve and come out on the page.”
Joan Baez Quote: “I asked him what made us different, and he said it was simple, that I thought I could change things, and he knew that no one could.”
Joan Baez Quote: “If it came back I would be thrilled. I would be delighted to write more songs. I need them now because I want to make an album and I have to depend on other people’s music, which I’ve done for years. But still, it’d be really nice to be able to sprinkle it with my own.”
Joan Baez Quote: “Twelve years later, when I finally met and became friends with Sara, we talked for hours about those days when the Original Vagabond was two-timing us. I told Sara that I’d never found Bob to be much at giving gifts, but that he had once bought me a green corduroy coat, and had told me to keep a lovely blue nightgown from the Woodstock house. “Oh!” said Sara, “that’s where it went!”
Joan Baez Quote: “I’ve never had a humble opinion. If you’ve got an opinion, why be humble about it?”
Joan Baez Quote: “People say I’m such a pessimist, but I always was. It never stopped me from doing what I had to do. I would say I’m a realist.”
Joan Baez Quote: “Mostly what I listen to when I turn on my little iPod is opera.”
Joan Baez Quote: “During the ‘ballad’ years for me, the politics was latent; I was just falling in love with the ballads and my boyfriend. And there was the beauty of the songs.”
Joan Baez Quote: “The search is in the doing.”
Joan Baez Quote: “I think the question that nobody wanted to deal with is the question they’re posing: did my kid die in vain? Because the answer is too awful.”
Joan Baez Quote: “My dread is for my show to be a nostalgia act. So the key to it is how do we keep it fresh?”
Joan Baez Quote: “And my voice now is a struggle, it’s a daily struggle to keep it up. Gravity has begun to fight the vocal cords the way it does with everybody. So I have a vocal therapist, and we record the sessions and I use them on tour every day.”
Joan Baez Quote: “When I was 16, the guest speaker was King. And I was completely overwhelmed because I had been studying nonviolence, talking about it, reading about it, but here it was happening, here it was people boycotting the buses and people on the streets and taking risks, which I think was the key.”
Joan Baez Quote: “Somebody else does the rigor and then I listen. I have an assistant, and my manager, and other people who hunt and find and send it to me, and then I just figure out which ones I can do justice to.”
Joan Baez Quote: “I’ve been obsessed with stopping people from blowing each other’s brains out since I was ten.”
Joan Baez Quote: “We’re not really pacifists, we’re nonviolent soldiers.”
Joan Baez Quote: “He was rarely tender, and seldom reached out to anticipate another’s needs, though occasionally he would exhibit a sudden concern for another outlaw, hitchhiker, or bum, and go out of his way to see them looked after. He was touching and infinitely fragile. His indescribably white hands moved constantly: putting a cigarette almost to his mouth, then tugging relentlessly at a tuft of hair at his neck, inadvertently dumping the cigarette ashes in dusty cavalcades down his jacket.”
Joan Baez Quote: “His humor was dry, private, and splendid. Sometimes he would start to chuckle. A little at a time, his lips would move from a genuine smile to a pucker. Then, instantly, he would tighten them back in, until a tiny convulsion of laughter would bring them back to the smile, and sometimes, a full grin followed by laughter.”
Joan Baez Quote: “The only thing that’s been a worse flop than the organization of nonviolence has been the organization of violence.”
