More quotes by Dar Williams
It's a collective truth that slavery is wrong, that child labor is wrong, that gross inequality is wrong. God didn't send it.

In the laughing times we know that we are lucky, and in the quiet times we know that we are blessed. And we will not be alone.

I went from having three little jobs that I strung together to being on the road full-time having some savings that my managers told me to spend.

Suddenly, the war-making machinery is not necessary.

The best, most solid place to stand as you look at our present situation is on a foundation of history. The Roman Empire, the British Empire, and the Nazi empire all have things in common.
Dar Williams
Sometimes I see myself fine, sometimes I need a witness. And I like the whole truth, but there are nights I only need forgiveness.

...we're all in a soup of trying to live by words, and trying to live by poetry. It's both humbling, and really flattering to know that my words are part of all that.

Slavery doesn't have any positives.

What happened on As Cool As I Am was, you know how in the `90s, the personal is political, the political is personal? That was a really big thing. Choices you made about how you recorded and what instruments you used and how much real versus how much synthetic. Those were choices that were seen as very political at the time.

The funny thing is musicians often love to go to see visual art because you've got all these pictures to turn into metaphors.

I'm becoming a professional nomad and enjoying that whole part of my life.

If you're lucky you find something that reflects you, Helps you feel your life, protects you, Cradles you and connects you to everything.
