More quotes by Ani DiFranco
If you turn on the TV, you're going to get a certain palate, and if you go looking underneath the surface, there's a whole lot of stuff there that I think a lot of our generation would be really interested in.
Ani DiFranco
I am still praying for revolution.
Ani DiFranco
Stepped out into the cold, collar high, under the slate gray sky. The air was smoking and the streets were dry, and I wasn't joking when I said goodbye.
Ani DiFranco
My idea of feminism is self-determination, and it's very open-ended: every woman has the right to become herself, and do whatever she needs to do.
Ani DiFranco
Outside sleep's open window, between the drops of rain, history is writing a recipe book for every earthly pain.
Ani DiFranco
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
Ani DiFranco
You've decided to love me for eternity, I'm still deciding who I want to be today.
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
People need something or someone to fasten themselves to in order to reassure themselves that they are real.
Ani DiFranco
In order to keep anything cultural, logical, or ideological, you have to reinvent the reality of it.
Ani DiFranco
The world is my oyster. The road is my home. And I know that I'm better off Alone.
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
Maybe you don't like your job, maybe you didn't get enough sleep, well nobody likes their job, nobody got enough sleep. Maybe you just had the worst day of your life, but you know, there's no escape, there's no excuse, so just suck up and be nice.
Ani DiFranco
We have to really be intentional right now about holding the media accountable, and taking back the discourse and terms of discussion. It's been hijacked.
Ani DiFranco
Pop stardom is not very compelling. I'm much more interested in a relationship between performer and audience that is of equals. I came up through folk music, and there's no pomp and circumstance to the performance. There's no, like, 'I'll be the rock star, you be the adulating fan.'
Ani DiFranco
TIME is not a thing that's ours to lose.
Ani DiFranco
How come I can pick my ears but not my nose?
Ani DiFranco
We're led by denial like lambs to slaughter, serving empires of style and carbonated sugar water.
Ani DiFranco
They taught me different was wrong.

These days, my main guitar amps have been Magnatone. They're beautiful. Magnatones have actual tremolo, which I recently learned about guitar amps. Often what guitar amps call vibrato is really just a volume Up and Down. But Magnatone has a true vibrato, which is pitch bending. And so, it's just a lush sound.
