More quotes by 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
Some rather seek up high Than dig and grind that inner truth
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
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
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
I don't really believe in writer's block or anything like that. If I'm not feeling words, I may pick up an instrument and play with sounds or delve into different types of creativity and expression.
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
I was fed by the music I listened to as a kid. Hip-hop fed me psychologically, spiritually, politically. I learned from that music.

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.

Vulnerability is power.

the greatest Americans have not been born yet they are waiting patiently for the past to die
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
Dying is something you have no control over. Why waste your life being afraid of it?
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
I think that heartbreak is a good thing.
Saul Williams
I'm very excited about the resurgence of vinyl which seems to parallel a growing interest in live performance.
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
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
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.

A lie preserved in stained glass doesn't make it more true.
