Every once in a while I check and I say, do I still believe in God? And the answer is absolutely yes. And then I think, I suppose I should go to church now.

Dar Williams
Go ahead, push your luck, find out how much love the world can hold.
Dar Williams
The very best thing you can do is to try to write a song that has some sort of impact.
Dar Williams
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.
