Some people wear their heart up on their sleeve. I wear mine underneath my right pant leg, strapped to my boot.

More quotes by Ani DiFranco
You got to look outside- your eyes- you got to think outside- your brain- you got to walk outside- your life- to where the neighborhoods change.
Ani DiFranco
Squint your eyes and look closer I'm not between you and your ambition I am a poster girl with no poster I am thirty-two flavors and then some And I'm beyond your peripheral vision So you might want to turn your head Cause someday you might find you're starving and eating all of the words you said.
Ani DiFranco
In any marginalized community, whether people identify themselves or not affects us all.
Ani DiFranco
I see a lot of young female performers who do not call themselves feminist, but would certainly believe in their own right to self-determination, and wouldn't want anybody to stop them from becoming themselves. They just refuse to recognize the relationship between their lives and those of other women, or feel any solidarity there.
Ani DiFranco
Subtract out the impact and the fall is all you get. So here's two beers to remember why and three more to forget.
Ani DiFranco
First decide what you got to do, then go out and do it. All we can do is to see each other through it.
Ani DiFranco
There's a paradox in every paradigm.
Ani DiFranco
If a politician is running in your local community who's pro-choice, who's feminist in their thinking, get behind them. Send them some money! If you have no money but have time, lick stamps!
Ani DiFranco
We have a complete void of progressive politics in this country right now. The will of the people goes ignored and unrealized. I'm searching for the people that can enter the political system, a strong third party. We need to consolidate.
Ani DiFranco
I am a work in progress dressed in the fabric of a world unfolding.
Ani DiFranco
Sometimes the beauty is easy. Sometimes you don't have to try at all. Sometimes you can hear the wind blow in a handshake. Sometimes there's poetry written right on the bathroom wall.
Ani DiFranco
I hate it when people don't recognize the work of women as being universal, or having any import to the world at large, as opposed to men's work, which is generally tends to be seen as more universal - men's writing about their own experience tends to be put in a broader context.
Ani DiFranco
You've already put more than enough energy into worry. That's all women have been allowed to do, historically.
Ani DiFranco
Why do you think I write these feminist songs, to try and teach myself to respect myself. You know, it's not because I'm a hero.
Ani DiFranco
I used to be a superhero no one could touch me, not even myself. You are like a phone booth I somehow stumbled into, and now look at me - I am just like everybody else.
Ani DiFranco
My life may not be something special But it's never been lived before.
Ani DiFranco
now the profile of our country looks a little less hard nosed / but that picket line persisted and that clinic's since been closed / they keep pounding their fists on reality hoping it will break / but I don't think there's a one of us leads a life free of mistakes
Ani DiFranco
I'll walk the plank and I'll jump with a smile, cause if I'm gonna go down I'm gonna do it with style.
Ani DiFranco
How come I can pick my ears, but not my nose? Who made up that rule anyway? How can you say that's the way it is, that's just the way it goes, why don't you decide fore yourself what you can do?
Ani DiFranco
It's not important to be defined, it's only important to use your time well.
Ani DiFranco
