More quotes by Ani DiFranco
I'm sounding out the silence, avoiding all the words.
Ani DiFranco
We negotiate with chaos for some sense of satisfaction.
Ani DiFranco
Like how could you do nothing, and say, 'I'm doing my best.' How could you take almost everything, and then come back for the rest? How could you beg me to stay, reach out your hands and plead, and then pack up your eyes and run away as soon as I agreed?
Ani DiFranco
All the wrong people have the power of suggestion and the freedom of the press is meaningless if nobody asks a question.
Ani DiFranco

Ani DiFranco

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
I cannot name this, I cannot explain this, and I really don't want to so just call me shameless.
Ani DiFranco
I know my mind is made of matter but I need to know exactly what is the matter at it's core? Because my heart is just a muscle and simply put, it's sore.
Ani DiFranco
Strangers are exciting, their mystery never ends. But, there's nothing like looking at your own history in the faces of your friends.
Ani DiFranco
I sincerely believe patriarchy to be at the root of all of our social diseases and feminism, it's antidote, to be a prerequisite to peace on earth. feminism provides an alternative way of thinking and structuring things that focuses on and prioritizes relationships and de-emphasizes hierarchy, separation and domination.
Ani DiFranco
But as bad as I am, I'm proud of the fact that I'm worse than I seem
Ani DiFranco
I'm searching, as we all are, for ways to feel good about myself. Certainly, looking in the mirror doesn't do it!
Ani DiFranco
I've been a long time coming, and I'll be a long time gone. You've got your whole life to do something, and that's not very long.
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.
