Saul Williams
Vulnerability is power.

Fax me a fact and I'll telegram a hologram or telephone the son of man and tell him he is done. Leave a message on his answering machine telling him there are none. God and I are one. Times moon. Times star. Times sun. The factor is me. You remember me.
Saul Williams
I've never believed it's really so important that you conform to the ways of the system in order to beat the system. I think that the system follows a great deal.
Saul Williams
It's crazy when you see very little reflection between what's played on the radio and what people are talking about in the streets. It lets you know how far off we are from a real movement.
Saul Williams
Jay Z and President Bush have a lot in common, that same brash confidence

Saul Williams
If not then you must be trying to hear us and in such cases we cannot be heard. We remain in the darkness, unseen. In the center of unpeeled bananas, we exist. Uncolored by perception. Clothed to the naked eye. Five senses cannot sense the fact of our existence. And that's the only fact. In fact, there are no facts.
Saul Williams
Music has always pushed ahead social movements and can do much more than just dumb down a populace.
Saul Williams
I can't say that I always want to get out of bed, you know.
Saul Williams
I have offered myself to the inkwell of the wordsmith that I might be shaped into new terms of being.
Saul Williams
Art can play a major role. I look at art as an alternative source of energy, the same way we might look at wind or solar or lithium batteries.
Saul Williams
What's wrong with hip-hop is the system that controls the definition of it. There needs to be more balance on the airwaves.
Saul Williams
There is no music more powerful than hip-hop. No other music so purely demands an instant affirmative on such a global scale. When the beat drops, people nod their heads, “yes,” in the same way that they would in conversation with a loved one, a parent, professor, or minister.
Saul Williams
I dance for no reason, for reasons you can't dance, Call me an activist of intellectualized circumstance You can't learn my steps until you unlearn your thoughts Spirit, soul, can't be store-bought.
Saul Williams
I'm very excited about the resurgence of vinyl which seems to parallel a growing interest in live performance.
Saul Williams
Сommercial hip-hop is not youth rebellion, not when the heroes of hip-hop like Puffy are taking pictures with Donald Trump and the heroes of capitalism - you know that's not rebellion. That's not the street - that's Wall Street.
