More quotes by Saul Williams

Saul Williams
I'm somewhat of an empath, I would say. I relate easily to ideas and stories, books, films, music. I'm moved by all of these things. Art in general. But not just art, you know?
Saul Williams
I can't say that I always want to get out of bed, you know.
Saul Williams
I surrendered my beliefs and found myself at the tree of life injecting my story into the veins of leaves only to find that stories like forests are subject to seasons

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'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
I want to connect music to its highest power - which is heightening consciousness and affecting people's reality. That can't be done in normal ways, not according to my experience.
Saul Williams
American culture is often so self-consumed that we often think that our problems are just our problems.
Saul Williams
Vulnerability is power.
Saul Williams
What I'm aiming to do within hip-hop is to point out that the music itself is powerful it reaches so many people.
Saul Williams
The role that theater has placed in enhancing consciousness and moving systems ahead. I think of what South African theater meant for the apartheid movement, for example. I think of what music has meant for so many social movements across time.
Saul Williams
the greatest Americans have not been born yet they are waiting patiently for the past to die
Saul Williams
Music has always pushed ahead social movements and can do much more than just dumb down a populace.
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.
