I have a sordid past.
Dar Williams
We have evolved to understand that language of power that's taken too much.
Dar Williams
Sixties folk rock was my original muse and the folk audience-people who listen to music off the beaten track-fostered my career. I definitely don't want to abandon the genre but I also need to make sure I'm Dar Williams first.
Dar Williams
The very best thing you can do is to try to write a song that has some sort of impact.
Dar Williams
Everyone has to decide how they're going to appear in their lives, how they're going to put themselves out there to the world.
Dar Williams
A song versus an album is not like a scene versus a play.
Dar Williams
I'm becoming a professional nomad and enjoying that whole part of my life.
Dar Williams
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.

When people in government [make mistakes], they don't say, those people in the government. They say, we've got a problem to solve.
Dar Williams
They preach that I should save the world. They pray that I won't do a better job of it.
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.
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.
Dar Williams
When we learn about ourselves, we can evolve.
Dar Williams
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.
Dar Williams
There's tons of anger and angst and peculiarity and eccentricity, and good towns know that that's okay. But towns that are kind of bullshit don't know what to do with all those feelings.
Dar Williams
I came out of that and said I don't want to go back to feeling depressed. So I asked myself, what can I be optimistic about, in terms of the course of the planet? And I discovered there was no end to the optimism I felt.
Dar Williams
Why wouldn't you want to be the envy of your neighbors by being so good and so generous and so smart in how you use the power that you obviously have? That's my patriotism.
