More quotes by Ani DiFranco
My mother was a feminist, and she gave me some tools of self-possession and self-empowerment, but now that I have lived here for forty-three years, it's, like, whoa, there is just so much more to do, other than become myself. I'm still talking about it. I still drop the P-word, patriarchy, on unsuspecting people in everyday conversations.
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
a lesson must be lived in order to be learned and the clarity to see and stop this now that is what i've earned

You've got your whole life to do something, And that's not very long. So why don't you give me a call When you're willing to fight For what you think is real, For what you think is right.

When I was a teenager in the '80s, I was the only girl in the guitar shop. Now if you walk into a music store, it's mostly teenage girls. It's great! It's an expansion of possibilities for young women, finding a way to tools even if they aren't directly handed those tools by adults.

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 don't always feel lucky, but I'm smart enough to try.
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
What we all have to admit to is that one man cannot save us. Unless we start energizing ourselves, all standing behind him with all of the force of our collective power then we can't expect mountains to be moved. And that is not exactly happening, we are a very comfortable population.
Ani DiFranco
When I look down, I miss all the good stuff And when I look up, I just trip over things.
Ani DiFranco
My political mission is as acute as ever. For me, in addition to kind of looking at the world and trying to engage in my society politically, having the kid around sort of makes me check in with myself. I think you're all busy trying to fix the world, but what about yourself?
Ani DiFranco
I don't need anyone to hold me, I can hold my own.
Ani DiFranco
To split yourself in two is just the most radical thing you can do
Ani DiFranco
The old farm roads a four lane that leads to the mall, and our dreams are all guillotines waiting to fall.
Ani DiFranco
There's a paradox in every paradigm.
Ani DiFranco
I don't like my language watered down, I don't like my edges rounded off.
Ani DiFranco
I'm pretty much a workaholic, but when you're doing what you love it's hard to think of a reason to stop.
