"When I was four years old they tried to test my IQ, they showed me this picture of three oranges and a pear. They asked me which one is different and does not belong, they taught me different was wrong."

Any tool is a weapon if you hold it right

- Ani Difranco

Why do our kids have to show us what gun control is all about?

- Ani Difranco

Some people wear their smiles like a disguise thoses people who smile alot watch their eyes I know cause I'm like that alot you think everythings ok and it is till its not

- Ani Difranco

but life on the outside ain't easy no sequins, no elephants, no parading around, yeah, the tent goes up, and the tent comes down and they're stuck in this fucking town

...when we fight cold wind blows our way, but we can learn how to bend, how to sway and say I, I think I understand what all this fighting is for..

- Ani Difranco

...when we fight cold wind blows our way but we can learn like the trees-how to bend, how to sway and say I, I think I understand...

- Ani Difranco

I don't care if they eat me alive, I've got better things to do then survive

- Ani Difranco

You know, art is the reason i get up in the morning, but my definition ends there, it doesn't seem fair that im living for something i can't even define, and there you are right there in the mean time.

- Ani Difranco

Maybe you can keep me from ever being happy, but you're not gonna stop me from having fun

- Ani Difranco

some people wear their heart up on their sleeve, i wear mine underneath my right pant leg, strapped to my boot.

- Ani Difranco

When I say "You sucked my brain out", the english translation is "I am in love with you, and it is no fun". But I don't use words like love, cuz words like that don't matter. But don't look so offended, you know you should be flattered.

- Ani Difranco

i'm recording our history now on the bedroom wall, and when we leave the landlord will come and paint over it all

- Ani Difranco

art may imitate life but life imitates tv

- Ani Difranco

maybe i should put a bucket over my head and a marshmallow in each ear and stumble around for another dum-dum week for another hum-drum hit song to appear...

There is a fire just waiting for fuel. There is a fire just waiting for fuel. There is a fire just waiting for fuel. There is a fire just waiting for fuel.

Growing up it was just me and my mom against the world and all my sympahties were with her when I was a little girl. Now I've seen both my parents play out the hands that they were dealt and as each year goes by I know more about how my father must have felt. I just want you to understand that I know what all the fighting was for and baby I just want you to understand that I'm not angry anymore. No I'm not angry anymore.

- Ani Difranco

The one person who really knows me best says I'm like a cat, the kind of cat that you just can't pick up and throw into your lap. Yeah the kind who doesn't mind being held only when it's her idea. Yeah the kind who feels what she decids to feel when she's good and ready to feel it. Now I am prowling through the backyard and I am hiding under the car and I've gotten out of everything I've gotten into so far and I eat when I am hungry and I travel alone. Just outside the glow of the house is where I feel most at home.

- Ani Difranco

I do it for the joy it brings, cause I'm a joyful girl. Cause the world owes us nothing, we owe each other the world.

- 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

You won't see me surrender, you won't hear me confess, 'cause you left me with nothing, but I;ve worked with less...

- Ani Difranco

Sleep walking throught the all night drugstore, baptized in flourescent light. I found religion in the greeting card aisle, and now I know Hallmark was right.

- Ani Difranco

When I look around I think this, this is good enough. And I try to laugh at whatever life brings. Cuz when I look down I just miss all the good stuff and when I look up I just trip over things.

- Ani Difranco

Whenever I say something they find hard to hear, they chalk it up to my anger and never to their own fear.

If the mattress was a table top and the bed sheet was a page we'd be written out like a couple of question marks my convex to your concave and we'd be lying here at the end of a sentence that asks, are you ready now?

- Ani_difranco(Angel_food)

I always wanted to be commander in chief of my one woman army

- Ani_difranco(Not_so_soft)

Art is why i get up in the morning but my definition ends there. You know i don't think its fair that I'm living for something i can't even define.

- Ani_difranco(Out_of_habit)

i pledge allegiance to the flag of the multi national corporations and to the profit for which they stand one interlocking directorate under no home government divisible for monopoly and cheap labor for all
