I know men are delicate origami creatures who need women to unfold them, hold them when they cry. But I am tired of being your savior and I am tired of telling you why.

More quotes by Ani DiFranco
I am writing graffiti on your body. I am drawing the story of how hard we tried.
Ani DiFranco
I've been saying the Occupy Movement has got the ball rolling, and now we need to take the fight to the great indoors!
Ani DiFranco
Pop stardom is not very compelling. I'm much more interested in a relationship between performer and audience that is of equals. I came up through folk music, and there's no pomp and circumstance to the performance. There's no, like, 'I'll be the rock star, you be the adulating fan.'
Ani DiFranco
People used to make records, as in the record of an event, the event of people playing music in a room, and now everything's cross-marketing, its about sunglasses and shoes, or guns and drugs that you choose.
Ani DiFranco
I'm the color me happy girl, Miss live and let live. And when they're out for blood, I always give.
Ani DiFranco
I'm aware enough, I guess, of American labor history.

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
I can jump ship and swim-- that the ocean will hold me, that there's got to be more than this boat I'm in.
Ani DiFranco
They say that the truth will set you free But then again, so will a lie... It depends if you're trying to get to the promised land Or if you're just trying to get by.
Ani DiFranco
The world is my oyster. The road is my home. And I know that I'm better off Alone.
Ani DiFranco
As any mom knows, having a baby is an extremely creative act and to love and create a baby, it's on par with any other creative act that we could come up with.
Ani DiFranco
A lot of women these days, a lot of young women don't want to call themselves feminists. You have this cheap, hideous 'girl power' sort of fad, which I think is pretty benign at best, but at worst, I think it's a way of taking the politics out of feminism and making it some kind of fashion.
Ani DiFranco
My country tis of thee, to take swings at each other on talk show TV.
Ani DiFranco
Second Wave feminism started with consciousness-raising groups, which sounds big but it's really just house parties. Women getting together and saying, You feel this way?! Me too! Hanging out is consciousness-raising.
Ani DiFranco
I fear that Donald Trump will continue to be followed around by the media in its totality as he continues to rail against Hillary Clinton.
Ani DiFranco
There's a crowd of people harbored in each person There are so many roles that we play.
Ani DiFranco
And this vague little smile is my all purpose expression the meaning of which I will leave to your discretion.
Ani DiFranco
You've decided to love me for eternity, I'm still deciding who I want to be today.
Ani DiFranco
Promiscuity does not scare me as long as she is savvy and self possessed when puberty comes to call. My aim is to simply raise my daughter to be secure in her self worth and capable of happiness all on her own.
Ani DiFranco
I don't always feel lucky, but I'm smart enough to try.
