More quotes by Saul Williams
I've always been inspired by a lot of work coming out of the UK
Saul Williams
I spend my time sitting in train stations, parks, parking lots, cafes, just looking at people - eavesdropping, basically. I'm vulnerable to all of it.
Saul Williams
If we're gonna progress as a people we are going to realise that, as one of my favourite poets says, the other is a lie. There are no other people. Race is a social construct.
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.
Saul Williams
There is nothing more negligent than attempting to address a problem one finds on a branch than by censoring the leaves.
Saul Williams
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
Some rather seek up high Than dig and grind that inner truth
Saul Williams
Hip-hop is too young to put a definition on it
Saul Williams
The most powerful political voices are those with a different way of seeing and processing the world and the sounds that emanate from it.
Saul Williams
There's so much to be found in literature, especially if you don't have the money to travel or the means to get out of your neighborhood or get off work.
Saul Williams
The downfall of the industry seems to actually be good for art. I think the industry will find their way once the focus shifts from its greed-based origins, downsizes, and begins to support creative visions that speak to our times and shifting ideals.
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
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
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
When I finally decide that I'm ready to get out of bed, it could be the sunlight, it could be the fact that I'm awake, and, OK, first of all, I wake up in the morning because I have to go to the bathroom.
Saul Williams
Jay Z and President Bush have a lot in common, that same brash confidence
Saul Williams
I remember back in the day when Chuck D called hip-hop the black people's CNN. Well now, hip-hop is more like Fox News. It's biased, and highly suspect.
Saul Williams
I have offered myself to the inkwell of the wordsmith that I might be shaped into new terms of being.
Saul Williams
I was fed by the music I listened to as a kid. Hip-hop fed me psychologically, spiritually, politically. I learned from that music.
Saul Williams
If you're just addressing your own emotions and challenging yourself to find some sort of harmonious sense of being in life and questioning authority and questioning what's given and questioning what's expected of you, you're already on the cusp of finding something in yourself, and maybe waking something in somebody else.
Saul Williams
