I spend my time sitting in train stations, parks, parking lots, cafes, just looking at people - eavesdropping, basically. I'm vulnerable to all of it.

More quotes by 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
I was always making up rhymes. But I never thought that poetry would become my life.
Saul Williams
I think everybody on this planet does that - trying to capture your dream after you wake up.
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 think that heartbreak is a good thing.
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.

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
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
There is nothing more negligent than attempting to address a problem one finds on a branch than by censoring the leaves.
Saul Williams
I have offered myself to the inkwell of the wordsmith that I might be shaped into new terms of being.
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
The organization of self, and all self-aligning principles would be those that I promote.
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
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
Legislation won't necessarily start a riot. But the right song can make someone pick up a chair.
Saul Williams
Honestly, I don't always want to get up in the mornings, but I do anyway.
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
Vulnerability is power.
Saul Williams
My father's a preacher, my mother's a teacher, thus... I rhyme.
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
