Цитаты Джоан Баэз
„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.“
— Joan Baez

Variant or paraphrase: You can't decide how you're going to die. Or when. What you can decide is how you're going to live now.
„Some Vietnam veterans have told me what they did over there when they were animals. They have been giving testimony about it to the public, to juries, to judges. Some of the juries cry, and so do some of the judges.
One Ex-Marine has a face like a Puerto Rican angel and a body count of 390. That means he and his unit killed 390 people in a variety of hideous ways, and the angel got to go count the dead bodies for the record.
And now he and a lot of his buddies are trying to make up for what we made them do. We paid the taxes that bought the war that hired the men and dropped the fire that burned the huts and killed the people who then were the bodies that Scott counted. It's a rotten thing to brainwash someone into doing the dirty part of killing while we stay at home. It's a rotten thing to pretend the war is coming to an end when it's only taken to the air. And in 1972 if you don't fight against a rotten thing you become a part of it.
What I'm asking you to do is take some risks. Stop paying war taxes, refuse the armed forces, organize against the air war, support the strikes and boycotts of farmers, workers and poor people, analyze the flag salute, give up the nation state, share your money, refuse to hate, be willing to work … in short, sisters and brothers, arm up with love and come from the shadows.“
— Joan Baez
Text notes on Come From The Shadows (1972)
„p>Yes, your father and Bartolo
They have fallen
And yesterday they fought and fell
But in the quest for joy and freedom
And in the struggle of this life you'll find
That there is love and sometimes more
Yes, in the struggle you will find
That you can love and be loved alsoForgive me all who are my friends
I am with you
I beg of you, do not cry</p“
— Joan Baez
"The Ballad of Sacco and Vanzetti, Part Three"
„Bangladesh, Bangladesh
When the sun sinks in the west
Die a million people of the Bangladesh“
— Joan Baez
Joan Baez, in the Song for Bangladesh (1971)
„The only thing that's been a worse flop than the organization of nonviolence has been the organization of violence.“
