More quotes by Ani DiFranco
I can jump ship and swim-- that the ocean will hold me, that there's got to be more than this boat I'm in.
Ani DiFranco
For me, the stronger ground I have in my personal life, then the more will I have to fight the good fight.
Ani DiFranco
First decide what you got to do, then go out and do it. All we can do is to see each other through it.
Ani DiFranco
Love is a piano dropped from a fourth story window, and you were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Ani DiFranco
I can't wait to get back to New York City where at least when I walk down the streat, no one ever hesitates to tell me exactly what they think of me.
Ani DiFranco
We've got ego's like hairdos.
Ani DiFranco
Feel free to listen, feel free to stare.
Ani DiFranco
Subtract out the impact and the fall is all you get. So here's two beers to remember why and three more to forget.

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 am a thinned-skinned type. I am very sensitive, very emotional. Vulnerability is kind of always a part of my day.
Ani DiFranco
Self-Preservation is a full-time occupation.
Ani DiFranco
If I'm gonna go down I'm gonna do it with style. You won't hear me surrender, you won't hear me confess cause you've left me with nothing but I have worked with less.
Ani DiFranco
One thing I do find in the lost generation or something is a kind of abhorrence of history, you know, like it's boring, dumb, or just not interesting. I think it's terribly interesting if you can get your head around how it relates to where you're standing right here and now.
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
How come I can pick my ears but not my nose?
Ani DiFranco
Virtue is relative at best, there's nothing worse than a sunset when your driving due West.
Ani DiFranco
I hate it when people don't recognize the work of women as being universal, or having any import to the world at large, as opposed to men's work, which is generally tends to be seen as more universal - men's writing about their own experience tends to be put in a broader context.

i found religion in the greeting card aisle now i know hallmark was right
Ani DiFranco
The stronger I am in my personal life, the more energy I have to look outward, to address my society.
Ani DiFranco
My writing just kind of exists out there in the air-it's all sort of intended as spoken, or sung, word. So, to commit them to the page...that way was kind of intimidating to me, yet intriguing, to try to reflect the rhythms and connotations and emotions that you can deliver, speaking-wise, on a page.
