More quotes by Ani DiFranco
They say that the truth will set you free But then again, so will a lie... It depends if you're trying to get to the promised land Or if you're just trying to get 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
I did not design this game I did not name the stakes. I just happen to like apples and I am not afraid of snakes.
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
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
I always wanted to be commander-in-chief of my one-woman army, But I can envision the mediocrity of my finest hour.
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
My mother was a feminist, and she gave me some tools of self-possession and self-empowerment, but now that I have lived here for forty-three years, it's, like, whoa, there is just so much more to do, other than become myself. I'm still talking about it. I still drop the P-word, patriarchy, on unsuspecting people in everyday conversations.
Ani DiFranco
I know there is strength in the differences between us. I know there is comfort where we overlap.
Ani DiFranco
What I like about being independent [in the music industry] is that anybody who does play the album on the radio and anybody who does choose to write in the media does so because they want to, because they like it or because they find something interesting there, not because they have to.
Ani DiFranco
Life is a sleazy stranger, who looks vaguely familiar flirting with a bimbo named disaster at the end of the bar.
Ani DiFranco
The world is my oyster. The road is my home. And I know that I'm better off Alone.
Ani DiFranco
I've never had a very closely connected family. My parents split up when I was young and I was living with my mom for a little while, then I was kind of just on my own really young. It wasn't some kind of global tragedy, it was just never really a very close-knit family. So there was support in the sense that they didn't stand in my way.
Ani DiFranco
I have earned my disillusionment.
Ani DiFranco
TIME is not a thing that's ours to lose.
Ani DiFranco
and I try to draw the line but it ends up running down the middle of me most of the time.
Ani DiFranco
What doesn't bend, breaks.
Ani DiFranco
Maybe we are both good people who've done some bad things.
Ani DiFranco
Privilege is a headache, that you don't know that you don't have.
Ani DiFranco
The old farm roads a four lane that leads to the mall, and our dreams are all guillotines waiting to fall.
