When I wake up in the morning, the first things that I see are the clouds. They're right there. I look out my window now and there's always, always a black bird of some sort on the ledge there. Usually I wake up and look at the birds.

More quotes by Saul Williams
Jay Z and President Bush have a lot in common, that same brash confidence
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
The organization of self, and all self-aligning principles would be those that I promote.
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 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
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
the greatest Americans have not been born yet they are waiting patiently for the past to die
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 am like a survivor of the flood walking through the streets drenched with God surprised that all of the drowned victims are still walking and talking
Saul Williams
I am hoping for peaceful transition into a new age. Obama has already played a great role in initiating us into that vision. If he were to be harmed in any way, it would spawn the birth of a million Obamas.
Saul Williams
The music aids the message, it's there to punctuate and abbreviate and shape the silence
Saul Williams
My father's a preacher, my mother's a teacher, thus... I rhyme.
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
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 can't say that I always want to get out of bed, you know.
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
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
I was always making up rhymes. But I never thought that poetry would become my life.
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 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.
