Life is a sleazy stranger, who looks vaguely familiar flirting with a bimbo named disaster at the end of the bar.

Freedom and democracy, That's the word from Washington every day. Put America to sleep with warm milk and clichés, And people are expendable along the way.

I did a lot of work with myself over the course of being pregnant and the first few months of being pregnant. It's nice, the pace of being pregnant it gives you a long time to not just germinate a baby but germinate the mother that you're gonna be.

I like to be an inspiration and an example of the idea that you can be independent, and it's no problem, and you can pay your rent, and it's empowering, and it's great. And that's true, but it also takes a really long time, and you have to have a lot of patience and a lot of conviction in why you want to remain independent.

Men make angry music and it's called rock-and-roll women include anger in their vocabulary and suddenly they're angry and militant.

You've got your whole life to do something, And that's not very long. So why don't you give me a call When you're willing to fight For what you think is real, For what you think is right.
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
and I try to draw the line but it ends up running down the middle of me most of the time.
Ani DiFranco
I always feel I have to take a stand, And there's always someone on hand To hate me for standing there. I always feel I have to open my mouth, And every time I do, I offend someone, somewhere.
Ani DiFranco
Birth is the epicenter of women's power

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.
Ani DiFranco
now the profile of our country looks a little less hard nosed / but that picket line persisted and that clinic's since been closed / they keep pounding their fists on reality hoping it will break / but I don't think there's a one of us leads a life free of mistakes
Ani DiFranco
Feminism is not only for women It's something everyone can participate in, and evolve together, as the first step in the right direction. I see feminism as a tool to achieve that balance and peace.

i found religion in the greeting card aisle now i know hallmark was right
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.

I love all those great 'f' words - feminism, folk music.

One thing that Barack Obama promised, one thing that we all know we must do is evolve our industry and our technology to being green and sustainable. We need to move away from fossil fuels and nuclear power, both of which I think spell doom for human society.
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

I've been waiting for sleep to offer up the day with both hands.
