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.
From Joan Baez
If people have to put labels on me, I'd prefer the first label to be human being, the second label to be pacifist, and the third to be folk singer.
The longer you practice nonviolence and the meditative qualities of it that you will need, the more likely you are to do something intelligent in any situation.
I have hope in people, in individuals. Because you don't know what's going to rise from the ruins.
We were raised with that discussion about violence and non-violence, and we all pretty much came up on the side of non-violence. That became my foundation with politics and my livelihood.
I've never been an optimist.
I've never had a humble opinion. If you've got an opinion, why be humble about it?
Action is the antidote to despair.
If it's natural to kill, how come men have to go into training to learn how?
The foundation of my beliefs is the same as it was when I was 10. Non-violence.
