You are so lame. You always disappoint me. It's kind of like our running joke but it's really not funny and I just want you to live up to the image of you I create.

More quotes by Ani DiFranco
When I first started writing songs and being very explicit, it was hard, but one of the main things people respond to in my writing is that 'just say it' attitude of my songs. There really is nothing personal or private it's all universal, if you can just find the courage to be open about your life.
Ani DiFranco
My mother was a feminist, and she gave me some tools of self-possession and self-empowerment, but now that I have lived here for forty-three years, it's, like, whoa, there is just so much more to do, other than become myself. I'm still talking about it. I still drop the P-word, patriarchy, on unsuspecting people in everyday conversations.
Ani DiFranco
I sing sometimes for the war that I fight, 'Cause every tool is a weapon if you hold it right.
Ani DiFranco
Take away our play stations and we are a third world nation.
Ani DiFranco
I just see a lot of people who are really terrified of the f-word. A lot of women these days, a lot of young women don't want to call themselves feminists.
Ani DiFranco
I am a thinned-skinned type. I am very sensitive, very emotional. Vulnerability is kind of always a part of my day.
Ani DiFranco
When I was a teenager in the '80s, I was the only girl in the guitar shop. Now if you walk into a music store, it's mostly teenage girls. It's great! It's an expansion of possibilities for young women, finding a way to tools even if they aren't directly handed those tools by adults.
Ani DiFranco
I used to be a superhero no one could touch me, not even myself. You are like a phone booth I somehow stumbled into, and now look at me - I am just like everybody else.
Ani DiFranco
If a politician is running in your local community who's pro-choice, who's feminist in their thinking, get behind them. Send them some money! If you have no money but have time, lick stamps!
Ani DiFranco
I don't take good pictures 'cause I have the kind of beauty that moves.
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
I've never had a very closely connected family. My parents split up when I was young and I was living with my mom for a little while, then I was kind of just on my own really young. It wasn't some kind of global tragedy, it was just never really a very close-knit family. So there was support in the sense that they didn't stand in my way.
Ani DiFranco
I was blessed with a birth and a death, and I guess I just want some say in between.
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'm an atheist how unfortunate it is to assign responsibility to the higher up for justice amongst people.
Ani DiFranco
When you grow up surrounded by willful ignorance, you have to believe that mercy has it's own country and that it's round and borderless.
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
Words are hotter than flames. Words are wetter than water.
Ani DiFranco
There's a crowd of people harbored in each person There are so many roles that we play.
Ani DiFranco
The way I play guitar is very, very hard and I bloody myself incredibly without the tape. And the nails are my picks.
