Famous quotes by Pete Seeger:

"In a few lines of poetry he captured one of the great contradictions of the world: the heroism of people doing something, even knowing it was a crazy something. And he showed how the establishment has used music for thousands of years to support its way of thinking."

"John Hammond persuaded Columbia to put it out as a single, and it was the only one I ever had that sold more than 20,000."

"Malvina was one of the great people of the 20th century,"

"There was so much political music going on; it was the height of the anti-nuke stuff, ... there should be more places for people to do this kind of music."

"Where have all the flowers gone?"

"Throughout history, the leaders of countries have been very particular of what songs should be sung. We know the power of songs."

"Songs won’t save the planet, but neither will books or speeches. Songs are sneaky things; they can slip across borders."

"Little boxes made of ticky-tacky, and they all look just the same"

"Education is when you read the fine print; experience is what you get when you don't"

"Do you know the difference between education and experience? Education is when you read the fine print; experience is what you get when you don't."

"I am not going to answer any questions as to my association, my philosophical or religious beliefs or my political beliefs, or how I voted in any election, or any of these private affairs."

"I think these are very improper questions for any American to be asked, especially under such compulsion as this. I would be very glad to tell you my life if you want to hear of it."

"I decline to discuss, under compulsion, where I have sung, and who has sung my songs, and who else has sung with me, and the people I have known."

"I love my country very dearly, and I greatly resent the implication that some of the places that I have sung and some of the people that I have known, and some of my opinions, whether they are religious or philosophical, make me less of an American."

"Again, I say I will be glad to tell what songs I have ever sung, because singing is my business."

"I have sung in hobo jungles, and I have sung for the Rockefellers, and I am proud that I have never refused to sing for anybody."

"Songs won't save the planet, but neither will books or speeches."

"But I decline to say who has ever listened to them, who has written them, or other people who have sung them."

"I fought for peace in the fifties."

"Some of my ancestors were religious dissenters who came to America over three hundred years ago. Others were abolitionists in New England in the eighteen forties and fifties."
