"I was always making up rhymes. But I never thought that poetry would become my life." ― Saul Williams Topic(s): Peace Tags: always, making More From 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." "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." "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 "I mean, what is music anyway? It’s a form of communication – at least for me it is. And that’s why I play the kind of music that I think – that I hope – can communicate with people."― Kenny G "A mind at peace, a mind centered and not focused on harming others, is stronger than any physical force in the universe."― Wayne Dyer "Peace hath higher tests of manhood, than battle ever knew."― John Greenleaf Whittier
