More quotes by Ani DiFranco
It don't take a weather man to look around and see the weather, Jeb said he'd deliver Florida folks and boy did he ever, and we hold these truths to be self evident number one George W Bush is not president. Number two America isn't a true democracy. And number three the media is not fooling me.
Ani DiFranco
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.
Ani DiFranco
The bathroom mirror has not budged, the woman who lives there can tell the truth from the stuff they say and looks me in the eye- says do you prefer the easy way? No? Well ok then, dont cry.
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 was supposed to be cool about this, yeah, I remember - cool was the plan. Tried to keep it all under wraps, but the wraps kept going slack. I keep turning round, I keep coming back.
Ani DiFranco
Sometimes the beauty is easy. Sometimes you don't have to try at all. Sometimes you can hear the wind blow in a handshake. Sometimes there's poetry written right on the bathroom wall.

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.
Ani DiFranco
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.
Ani DiFranco
I will not be afraid to let my talent shine.

I've been collecting some more high-end guitars. I have an old Martin D28 from the '60s, a beautiful, classic Martin that I know I played on 'Mariachi.'
Ani DiFranco
A good brain ain't diddley, if you don't have the facts.
Ani DiFranco
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
Second Wave feminism started with consciousness-raising groups, which sounds big but it's really just house parties. Women getting together and saying, You feel this way?! Me too! Hanging out is consciousness-raising.
Ani DiFranco
I just don't know any other word than feminist that describes a person who believes women are people.
Ani DiFranco
I have something to prove, as long as I know there's something that needs improvement, and you know that everytime I move, I make a woman's movement.
Ani DiFranco
The world owes us nothing we owe each other the world.
Ani DiFranco
There's a crowd of people harbored in each person There are so many roles that we play.
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 cannot name this, I cannot explain this, and I really don't want to so just call me shameless.
