We've got ego's like hairdos.
Ani DiFranco
Imagine you're a girl, just trying to finally come clean, knowing full well they'd prefer you were dirty and smiling.
Ani DiFranco
I think the gay community should get smart and drop the word marriage. Do you really need to change every right-wing Christian to make sure you get your equal rights? Eyes on the prize, we should be sticking to getting equal rights.
Ani DiFranco
Why do our kids have to show us what gun control is all about?
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
Outside sleep's open window, between the drops of rain, history is writing a recipe book for every earthly pain.

Life is a B Movie: it's stupid and it's strange, it's a directionless story, the dialogue is lame, but in the 'he said she said' sometimes there's some poetry, if you turn your back long enough and let it happen naturally.
Ani DiFranco
People need something or someone to fasten themselves to in order to reassure themselves that they are real.

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
I wonder what you look like under your t-shirt. I wonder what you sound like when you're not wearing words. I wonder what we have when we're not pretending.
Ani DiFranco
My songs are just little letters to me.
Ani DiFranco
And this vague little smile is my all purpose expression the meaning of which I will leave to your discretion.
Ani DiFranco
It's just hard to travel in the shadow of regret. In fact, it's so hard that I actually haven't left yet.
Ani DiFranco
I would rather have these things weigh on my mind. At the end of this tunnel of guilt and shame, there must be a light of some kind.
Ani DiFranco
But in the garden of simple, where all of us are nameless, you were never anything but beautiful to me.
Ani DiFranco
For me, the stronger ground I have in my personal life, then the more will I have to fight the good fight.
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
What bugs me is that you believe what you're saying. What bothers me is that you don't know how you feel. What scares me is that while you're telling me stories, you actually believe that they are real.
