More quotes by Saul Williams
Legislation won't necessarily start a riot. But the right song can make someone pick up a chair.
Saul Williams
Why shouldn't rap be esoteric, able to take in current events, history and criticism? I guess it's this old idea of containment - that rappers, because they're black, can't and shouldn't aspire to look outside the ghetto for influence.
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
Music has always pushed ahead social movements and can do much more than just dumb down a populace.
Saul Williams
I think everything has its place. So if the ideas or the fluidity isn't coming in writing, maybe it's related to ingestions.
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
A lie preserved in stained glass doesn't make it more true.
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
The organization of self, and all self-aligning principles would be those that I promote.
Saul Williams
American culture is often so self-consumed that we often think that our problems are just our problems.
Saul Williams
It's not the rules everywhere, you know? That's not the rules everywhere - that things have to be dumbed down in order to become massively popular. And that hasn't always been the rule, even in America.
Saul Williams
I'm a very sensitive person at times. Not just to words that anybody says, but in relationships for example, the people that you open up to, you listen to, you hear - you know? So a lot of times, the key to some of my vulnerability is just through things, simple things - or critiques or whatever - or could be very simple things that are said.
Saul Williams
Hip-hop is still cool at a party. But to me, hip-hop has never been strictly a party it is also there to elevate consciousness.
Saul Williams
Books are carefully folded forests/void of autumn/bound from the sun
Saul Williams
Some rather seek up high Than dig and grind that inner truth
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
Vulnerability is power.
Saul Williams
I'm very excited about the resurgence of vinyl which seems to parallel a growing interest in live performance.
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
It was always important to me to be that kid who could rock the party as well as rock the English professor's mind.
