What doesn't bend, breaks.
Ani DiFranco
What I like way better than LGBT in terms of labeling sexuality actually is a scheme that comes to me from my friend Animal Prufrock wherein one is identified not by what they supposedly are but rather by what they are into. Which brings us to the terms hemosexual, shemosexual, and mosexual.
Ani DiFranco
We have to really be intentional right now about holding the media accountable, and taking back the discourse and terms of discussion. It's been hijacked.
Ani DiFranco
I can't wait to get back to New York City where at least when I walk down the streat, no one ever hesitates to tell me exactly what they think of me.
Ani DiFranco
I don't need anyone to hold me, I can hold my own.
Ani DiFranco
Every time I say something they find hard to hear, they chalk it up to my anger, and never to their own fear.
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
Self-Preservation is a full-time occupation.
Ani DiFranco
...words are some of the most powerful and important things I know....Language is the tool of love and the weapon of hatred. It's the bright red warning flag of danger--and the stone foundation of diplomacy and peace.
Ani DiFranco
Some people's minds we're not going to change. But if we can't, we need to bring more positive voices into the discussion.
Ani DiFranco
A good brain ain't diddley, if you don't have the facts.
Ani DiFranco
Men make angry music and it's called rock-and-roll women include anger in their vocabulary and suddenly they're angry and militant.
Ani DiFranco
It's the ground that we walk on, it's where we sit, it's the language that we use. It's a difficult undertaking, but I think without healing that and creating more of a balance between the sexes, we will never have balance globally. I feel like I am going deeper and deeper into this space where I came from that I barely understood.
Ani DiFranco
What I like about being independent [in the music industry] is that anybody who does play the album on the radio and anybody who does choose to write in the media does so because they want to, because they like it or because they find something interesting there, not because they have to.
Ani DiFranco
It seems that different people have an idea of what I am, and what I should be. And then there's me.
Ani DiFranco
I'm a little hibernating animal. Anonymity is one of my favorite things. I mean, that's why I moved to New York when I was like 18, because there, there are just so many people that there's no one and you're just lost. You're completely invisible and I find that very liberating.
Ani DiFranco
I am getting nowhere with you and I can't let you go and I cant get through.
Ani DiFranco
I fight with love and i laugh with rage....you gotta live light enough to see the humor, and long enough to see some change.
Ani DiFranco
I sing sometimes for the war that I fight, 'Cause every tool is a weapon if you hold it right.
Ani DiFranco
spring is super in the supermarkets and the strawberries prance and glow never mind that they're all kinda tart and tasteless as strawberries go meanwhile wild things are not for sale anymore than they are for show so i'll be outside, in love with the kind of beauty it takes more than eyes to know
