Stepped out into the cold, collar high, under the slate gray sky. The air was smoking and the streets were dry, and I wasn't joking when I said goodbye.

More quotes by Ani DiFranco
The stronger I am in my personal life, the more energy I have to look outward, to address my society.
Ani DiFranco
You rhapsodize about beauty, and my eyes glaze. Everything that I love is ugly. I mean really, you would be amazed. Just do me a favor, it's the least that you can do, just don't treat me like I am something that happened to you.
Ani DiFranco
We get a little further from perfection each year. I think that's called character. I think that's just how it goes.
Ani DiFranco
When I was like sixteen, I was a total chick I had big hair. I was seen as this attractive girl, and I would get all this attention. And then I just cut off my hair, and I quit playing that game.
Ani DiFranco
If you turn on the TV, you're going to get a certain palate, and if you go looking underneath the surface, there's a whole lot of stuff there that I think a lot of our generation would be really interested in.
Ani DiFranco
fate is not just whose cooking smells good, but which way the wind blows
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 always wanted to be commander-in-chief of my one-woman army, But I can envision the mediocrity of my finest hour.
Ani DiFranco
In any marginalized community, whether people identify themselves or not affects us all.
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
It's great being your own boss, but then, you know, you make your own mistakes, you know, and you own them. You know, so it's empowering, and it's also humbling along the way.
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
There are so many things that we have to be very concerned about. But I always come back to feminism. People look at me sideways now and are like, With everything going on, the destruction of the environment, these endless wars, this capitalism that has a stranglehold on our culture and our world and you're talking about feminism still?
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
Privilege is a headache, that you don't know that you don't have.
Ani DiFranco
A little bird told me that jumping is easy and the falling is fun, right up until you hit sidewalk shivering and stunned.
Ani DiFranco
At night when you're asleep, self-hatred's going to creep in. And you can blame it on the devil, the one who's bed you sleep in.
Ani DiFranco
I am a work in progress Dressed in the fabric of a world unfolding Offering me intricate patterns of questions Rhythms that never come clean And strengths that you still haven't seen
Ani DiFranco
I envy your ignorance, I hear that it's bliss.
Ani DiFranco
These days, my main guitar amps have been Magnatone. They're beautiful. Magnatones have actual tremolo, which I recently learned about guitar amps. Often what guitar amps call vibrato is really just a volume Up and Down. But Magnatone has a true vibrato, which is pitch bending. And so, it's just a lush sound.
