If it can’t be reduced, reused, repaired, rebuilt, refurbished, refinished, resold, recycled or composted, then it should be restricted, redesigned or removed from production.

Well, normally I’m against big things. I think the world is going to be saved by millions of small things. Too many things can go wrong when they get big.” — Pete Seeger (on how he felt about attending his big 90th birthday bash last year)

The easiest way to avoid wrong notes is to never open your mouth and sing. What a mistake that would be.

My father, Charles Seeger, got me into the Communist movement. He backed out around '38. I drifted out in the 50's.

After visits to several Communist countries (USSR, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Slovenia, East Germany, Vietnam, China, Cuba), I feel strongly that most "revolutionary" types around the world don't realize the importance of freedom of the press and the air, a right to peaceably assemble and discuss anything, including the dangers of such discussions.

Do-so is more important than say-so.

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