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.
Dar Williams
The only I would say is a little different is when I know my parents are in the audience. That's never going to be the same as another concert.

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.
Dar Williams
The light that stopped the night felt like forgiveness.

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.

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.

I went to Canada and played in this tiny bar where the windows were steaming up and everybody was so animated and singing along right there at the foot of the stage, looking up, and I got my mojo back .
Dar Williams
I fear that to fall in love with you is to fall from a great and gruesome height.
Dar Williams
...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.
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.
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.
Dar Williams
I have odometer readings, kids all sorts of measurements of what I've been doing for the last 20 years. I get it. I get that it was a while ago.
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 think we're coming to a place where we're saying all war is wrong. We might even learn something about the sensationalism we get caught up in with people like Donald Trump.
Dar Williams
I have a sordid past.
