Joni Mitchellová: Citáty v angličtine

“That's one thing that's always, like, been a difference between, like, the performing arts, and being a painter, you know. A painter does a painting, and he paints it, and that's it, you know. He has the joy of creating it, it hangs on a wall, and somebody buys it, and maybe somebody buys it again, or maybe nobody buys it and it sits up in a loft somewhere until he dies. But he never, you know, nobody ever, nobody ever said to Van Gogh, 'Paint a Starry Night again, man!”

You know? He painted it and that was it.
Miles of Aisles (1974)

“It's coming on Christmas,
They're cutting down trees.
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace.
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on”

I wanna laugh along,
I wanna belong to the living.

Wanna wreck my stockings in some jukebox dive.”

And they charged all the people
A dollar and a half just to see 'em.”

"Big Yellow Taxi"
Songs

“You go down to the pick up station
Craving warmth and beauty
You settle for less than fascination
A few drinks later you're not so choosy
When the closing lights strip off the shadows
On this strange new flesh you've found
Clutching the night to you like a fig leaf
You hurry
To the blackness
And the blankets
To lay down an impression
And your loneliness.”

"Down to You" from Court and Spark

“I don't like being too looked up at or too looked down on. I prefer meeting in the middle to being worshipped or spat out.”

That's how our time began.

It's second hand.”

So much could not be expressed
So now I'm returning to myself
These things that you and I suppressed.”

"Hejira"

"Love is touching souls,"
Surely you've touched mine, cause
Part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time.”

And put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique
and a swinging hot spot.”

"Big Yellow Taxi"

“I’ve looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow,
It’s love’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know love at all.”

"Both Sides Now"
Songs
Varianta: I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now,
From up and down, and still somehow
It’s cloud illusions I recall,
I really don’t know clouds at all.
