More quotes by Saul Williams
I have offered myself to the inkwell of the wordsmith that I might be shaped into new terms of being.
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
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
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
When I look at certain aspects of popular culture - not everything because I like a lot of things - sometimes my heart breaks a little bit, just a little bit. I begin to ponder what happened to this generation, I don't know.
Saul Williams
Hip-hop is too young to put a definition on it
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 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
Books are carefully folded forests/void of autumn/bound from the sun
Saul Williams
Legislation won't necessarily start a riot. But the right song can make someone pick up a chair.
Saul Williams
The music aids the message, it's there to punctuate and abbreviate and shape the silence
Saul Williams
The only reason I've been so critical of hip-hop is because I've always been aware of the effect that it has, and the reflection that it gives of the African-American community.
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
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
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
Your library teacher would say, What happens to a generation that doesn't read the Classics? Me, I'm not your library teacher. But I have some of the same questions and concerns, you know?
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.
Saul Williams
I've always been inspired by a lot of work coming out of the UK
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
Music has always pushed ahead social movements and can do much more than just dumb down a populace.
