More quotes by Dar Williams
I've watched towns and cities evolve and become very resilient, and fun, and unique, and prosperous on their own terms. And the secret is bridging. It's when the local church has a fun clothing swap fundraiser with a temple, and then the next year they bring in the mosque.

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.

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. You fly all over the country opening for these other people. You pay a publicist to get some press while you're establishing yourself and you will be solvent in this career forevermore.

The light that stopped the night felt like forgiveness.

And where does magic come from? I think that magic's in the learning.

What we need to do is pull the rug out so billionaires in our country wake up one morning and say, wow, 80 percent of the country has a solar panel, and we can't make our billions anymore because other people are making millions, but not billions, on alternative energy that doesn't require war. Suddenly, the war-making machinery is not necessary.

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

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 would encourage people to bridge broadly and creatively in their communities, not just because that creates the most fun and resiliency, but also because it creates the most points of access for people to be part of the community, which is what democracy is at its best.

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.
