More quotes by Ani DiFranco
I am not an angry girl, but it seems I've got everyone fooled. Every time I say something they find hard to hear, they chalk it up to my anger and not to their own fear. Imagine you're a girl just trying to finally come clean, knowing full well they prefer you dirty and smiling.

Ani DiFranco
I don't hate being compared with female musicians. I don't mind that at all. I have no problem with seeing connections between women's work.
Ani DiFranco
I'm the color me happy girl, Miss live and let live. And when they're out for blood, I always give.
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
When everything else seems unclear, at least I'll know I do it for the joy it brings.
Ani DiFranco
But in the garden of simple, where all of us are nameless, you were never anything but beautiful to me.
Ani DiFranco
In any marginalized community, whether people identify themselves or not affects us all.
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.
