More quotes by Dar Williams
They preach that I should save the world. They pray that I won't do a better job of it.
Dar Williams
For my 50th birthday I just want to make it all make sense [being exactly half introvert], and then a couple of weeks later do the blow-out with all my friends.
Dar Williams
A song versus an album is not like a scene versus a play.
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
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.
Dar Williams
Sometimes life gives us lessons sent in ridiculous packaging.
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.

...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
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
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
And you bring your words, But you're just like them, You're unprepared 'Cause you don't know the terrain
Dar Williams
Slavery doesn't have any positives.
Dar Williams
At this point, I feel like I have roots in a lot of places. I have friends who have put down roots, in Seattle and San Francisco and Portland, and I feel very close to them.
Dar Williams
I fear that to fall in love with you is to fall from a great and gruesome height.
Dar Williams
When we learn about ourselves, we can evolve.
Dar Williams
And the ones that know you so well are the ones that can swallow you whole.
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
The rest of the songs on the album [Mortal City ] have spare arrangements on them. Steve [Miller], really loved that. He'd just come off of a project with someone who basically had to mask the fact that there were no songs there with production. He said, Oh, my God, you have real songs here!
Dar Williams
The funny thing is musicians often love to go to see visual art because you've got all these pictures to turn into metaphors.
Dar Williams
When people in government [make mistakes], they don't say, those people in the government. They say, we've got a problem to solve.
