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.

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.

Sometimes life gives us lessons sent in ridiculous packaging.

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
And the ones that know you so well are the ones that can swallow you whole.

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
I'm amazed at the adolescent nature of some of the religious fanatics in our government. And they're full of double standards.
Dar Williams
If you're lucky you find something that reflects you, Helps you feel your life, protects you, Cradles you and connects you to everything.

They preach that I should save the world. They pray that I won't do a better job of it.

I have a sordid past.
Dar Williams
I fear that to fall in love with you is to fall from a great and gruesome height.

There are a lot of people out there who are exactly half extrovert and half introvert and they love to be extroverts as long as they have enough time to go off and figure it all out.

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 .
