More quotes by Ani DiFranco
When everything else seems unclear, at least I'll know I do it for the joy it brings.
Ani DiFranco
When I need to wipe my face, I use the back of my hand, And I like to take up space just because I can, And I use my dress to wipe up my drink. I care less and less what people think.
Ani DiFranco
My life may not be something special But it's never been lived before.
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
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
I can't wait to get back to New York City where at least when I walk down the streat, no one ever hesitates to tell me exactly what they think of me.
Ani DiFranco
I'd rather suffer the consequences of truth than of silence.
Ani DiFranco
I know the biggest crime is just to throw up your hands, Say, This has nothing to do with me, I just want to live as comfortably as I can...
Ani DiFranco
I was blessed with a birth and a death, and I guess I just want some say in between.
Ani DiFranco
We need a radically truthful way to acknowledge reproductive freedom.
Ani DiFranco
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.
Ani DiFranco
I want somebody who sees the pointlessness and still keeps their purpose in mind I want somebody who has a tortured soul ...some of the time
Ani DiFranco
Let's show them all how it's done, let's do it all imperfectly.
Ani DiFranco
No one's gonna sympathize when we crash, they'll say you hit what you head for, you get what you ask.
Ani DiFranco
We negotiate with chaos for some sense of satisfaction.
Ani DiFranco
I think it is very useful to know ourselves, but when we start naming and labeling, that is dangerous, that gets problematic. It negates that things are always changing. Besides, it's hard to pin a label onto something that's always moving.
Ani DiFranco
There is no alternative. A Democrat is a Republican is a big businessman, and we're all consumers instead of citizens. It just manifests in the culture, in the music, in the art. I feel a little panicky about it.
Ani DiFranco
The world is my oyster. The road is my home. And I know that I'm better off Alone.
Ani DiFranco
Freedom and democracy, That's the word from Washington every day. Put America to sleep with warm milk and clichés, And people are expendable along the way.
Ani DiFranco
I'm recording our history now on the bedroom wall, and when we leave the landlord will come and paint over it all.
