About this Quote

This quote by Ani DiFranco speaks to the idea of time and the short lived nature of life. The very first part, "I've been a long time coming, and I'll be a very long time gone," recommends that the speaker has actually been on a journey for a long time and will continue to be on that journey up until they are gone. This could describe the journey of self-discovery or the journey of life itself. The second part, "You've got your entire life to do something, which's not very long," highlights the minimal time we need to make an impact or accomplish our goals. It acts as a suggestion to take advantage of the time we have and not take it for approved. In general, this quote encourages us to reflect on the brevity of life and to make the most of every moment.
