More quotes by Ani DiFranco
God forbid you be an ugly girl, 'course too pretty is also your doom, 'cause everyone harbors a secret hatred for the prettiest girl in the room.
Ani DiFranco
I always feel I have to take a stand, And there's always someone on hand To hate me for standing there. I always feel I have to open my mouth, And every time I do, I offend someone, somewhere.

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
My life may not be something special But it's never been lived before.
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'm aware enough, I guess, of American labor history.
Ani DiFranco
There's a crowd of people harbored in each person There are so many roles that we play.
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
Virtue is relative at best, there's nothing worse than a sunset when your driving due West.
Ani DiFranco
I see a lot of connections between folk and punk music just because they're both subcorporate music - I mean, traditionally.
Ani DiFranco
You've already put more than enough energy into worry. That's all women have been allowed to do, historically.
