Joan Baez

Action is the antidote to despair.

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.

Action is the antidote to despair.

As long as one keeps searching, the answers come.

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.

I've never had a humble opinion in my life. If you're going to have one, why bother to be humble about it?

Hypothetical questions get hypothetical answers.

The only thing that's been a worse flop than the organization of non-violence has been the organization of violence.

Only you and I can help the sun rise each coming morning. If we don't, it may drench itself out in sorrow.
