Quote

Patriarchy is a fundamental imbalance underlying society And it's one we rarely address because it's so universal. But as I get older, I see that peace is a product of balance.

Vulnerability is something that I negotiate every day.
Ani DiFranco

It's the ground that we walk on, it's where we sit, it's the language that we use. It's a difficult undertaking, but I think without healing that and creating more of a balance between the sexes, we will never have balance globally. I feel like I am going deeper and deeper into this space where I came from that I barely understood.

Up up up up up up points the spire of the steeple but god's work isn't done by god it's done by people

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.

All the wrong people have the power of suggestion and the freedom of the press is meaningless if nobody asks a question.

I think I'm a very solitary person. To actually not be anonymous is a bit claustrophobic for me.

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!

You rhapsodize about beauty, and my eyes glaze. Everything that I love is ugly. I mean really, you would be amazed. Just do me a favor, it's the least that you can do, just don't treat me like I am something that happened to you.

We're led by denial like lambs to slaughter, serving empires of style and carbonated sugar water.

Image
I make such a good statistic, somebody should study me now somebody's gotta be interested in how I feel, just cause I'm here, and I'm real.

I'm a little hibernating animal. Anonymity is one of my favorite things. I mean, that's why I moved to New York when I was like 18, because there, there are just so many people that there's no one and you're just lost. You're completely invisible and I find that very liberating.

It seems that different people have an idea of what I am, and what I should be. And then there's me.

Every time I say something they find hard to hear, they chalk it up to my anger, and never to their own fear.

I don't care if they eat me alive, I've got better things to do then survive.

There are so many things that we have to be very concerned about. But I always come back to feminism.
Ani DiFranco
Image
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.

I see a lot of young female performers who do not call themselves feminist, but would certainly believe in their own right to self-determination, and wouldn't want anybody to stop them from becoming themselves. They just refuse to recognize the relationship between their lives and those of other women, or feel any solidarity there.
