Quotes by Joni Mitchell

Joni Mitchell

“All I really, really want our love to do is to bring out the best in me and in you too.”

“I want to have fun. I want to shine like the sun. I want to be the one that you want to see. I want to knit you a sweater. I want to write you a love letter. I want to make you feel better. I want to make you feel free.”

“I love you when I forget about me.”

“Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels/ The dizzy dancing way you feel/ As every fairy tale comes real/ Ive looked at love that way.”

“Do you see how you hurt me, baby? So I hurt you too. Then we both get so blue. I am on a lonely road and I am traveling, looking for the key to set me free.”

“But youre bound to loseIf you let the blues get you scared to feel”

“When I think of your kisses my mind see-saws.”

“Oh, the jealousy, the greed is the unraveling. Its the unraveling and it undoes all the joy that could be.”

“Sorrow is so easy to express and yet so hard to tell.”

“You know that it never has been easy/ Whether you do or do not resign/ Whether you travel the breadth of the extremities/ Or stick to some straighter line.”

“Tears and fears and feeling proud to say I love you right out loud.”

“I remember that time you told me, you saidLove is touching souls. Surely you touched mine Cause part of you pours out of me In these lines from time to time. Youre in my blood like holy wine, You taste so bitter and so sweet.”

“Youre in my blood like holy wine, You taste so bitter and so sweet. I could drink a case of you darling Still Id be on my feet. I would still be on my feet.”

“Ring in the love of truth and right,Ring in the common love of good.”

“Say, wont you stay; well put on the day and well talk in present tenses”

We love our lovin....but not like we love our freedom.

you dont know what you got till its gone

Will you take me as I am? Strung out on another man...California, Im comin home.

We are stardustBillion-year old carbonAnd weve got to get ourselves back to the garden

In search of love and music my whole life has beenIlluminationCorruptionAnd diving, diving, diving, diving down To pick up on every shiny thing
