If you don't ask the right question, every answer seems wrong -

Image
I still define myself by the places that I've been.
Ani DiFranco
Image
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.

How come I can pick my ears, but not my nose? Who made up that rule anyway? How can you say that's the way it is, that's just the way it goes, why don't you decide fore yourself what you can do?

Someone's got to be interested in how I feel, just because I'm here and I'm real.

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.

I'm an all powerful amazon warrior, not just some sniveling girl.
Ani DiFranco
Image
If you like it, let it be, and if you don't please do the same.
Ani DiFranco
Image
Why do you think I write these feminist songs, to try and teach myself to respect myself. You know, it's not because I'm a hero.
Ani DiFranco
Image
a lesson must be lived in order to be learned and the clarity to see and stop this now that is what i've earned

Image
I think the gay community should get smart and drop the word marriage. Do you really need to change every right-wing Christian to make sure you get your equal rights? Eyes on the prize, we should be sticking to getting equal rights.
Ani DiFranco
Image
Mostly, I stay out of social media conversations. But sometimes, they hunt me down and shoot at me anyway!

I'm an atheist how unfortunate it is to assign responsibility to the higher up for justice amongst people.
Ani DiFranco
Image
Squint your eyes and look closer I'm not between you and your ambition I am a poster girl with no poster I am thirty-two flavors and then some And I'm beyond your peripheral vision So you might want to turn your head Cause someday you might find you're starving and eating all of the words you said.

I was blessed with a birth and a death, and I guess I just want some say in between.

We are taught to view pain as an enemy, not a teacher. But pain is the right hand of growth and transformation. Pain is in the history of all human wisdom.
Ani DiFranco
Image
Outside sleep's open window, between the drops of rain, history is writing a recipe book for every earthly pain.
