"More people than ever are slowly but surely turning their ears toward poetry." ― Saul Williams Topic(s): Peace Tags: people More From Saul Williams "I think we fool ourselves and really negate a great deal of history if we think that the oral history of poetry is shorter than the written history of poetry. It’s not true. Poetry has a longer oral tradition than it does written." "My father’s a preacher, my mother’s a teacher, thus I rhyme." "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." More In Peace "Peace and justice are two sides of the same coin."― Dwight D. Eisenhower "I am aware that a philosopher’s ideas are not subject to the judgment of ordinary persons, because it is his endeavour to seek the truth in all things, to the extent permitted to human reason by God."― Nicolaus Copernicus "Every goal, every action, every thought, every feeling one experiences, whether it be consciously or unconsciously known, is an attempt to increase one’s level of peace of mind."― Sydney Madwed
