Joan Baez Quotes
- The easiest kind of relationship for me is with ten thousand people. The hardest is with one.
- Action is the antidote to despair.
- You don’t get to choose how you’re going to die. Or when. You can only decide how you’re going to live. Now.
- If it’s natural to kill, how come men have to go into training to learn how?
- I’ve never had a humble opinion. If you’ve got an opinion, why be humble about it?
- The only thing that’s been a worse flop than the organization of non-violence has been the organization of violence.
- Instead of getting hard ourselves and trying to compete, women should try and give their best qualities to men – bring them softness, teach them how to cry.
- That’s all nonviolence is – organized love.
- Hypothetical questions get hypothetical answers.
- Only you and I can help the sun rise each coming morning. If we don’t, it may drench itself out in sorrow
