More quotes by Alice Walker
You can love yourself spiritually, physically-in almost any way that anybody else can.
Alice Walker
I don't require myself or anyone to go beyond what they feel they can do. I just do suggest - for their own eventual happiness - that they go as far as they can. They can usually go much further than they think.
Alice Walker
Every soul is to be cherished, every flower is to bloom.
Alice Walker
There's an ecstatic side to writing. It's like jazz. It just has a life.
Alice Walker
I'm sure we, the American people, are the butt of jokes by those in power.
Alice Walker
We will be ourselves and free, or die in the attempt. Harriet Tubman was not our great-grandmother for nothing.
Alice Walker
For in the end, freedom is a personal and lonely battle and one faces down fears of today so that those of tomorrow might be engaged.
Alice Walker
I'm one in what I do and what I say and what I believe.
Alice Walker
My parents taught me service - not by saying, but by doing. That was my culture, the culture of my family.
Alice Walker
When you are active, and you must know this so well, that the more you are active, the more you see, the more you go to see. You know, you are curious. One thing leads to another thing, and it gets deeper and deeper, too. And there's no end to it.
Alice Walker
It's essential that we understand that taking care of the planet will be done as we take care of ourselves. You know that you can't really make much of a difference in things until you change yourself.
Alice Walker
The nature of this flower is to bloom.
Alice Walker
I started writing as a child. But I didn't think of myself, actually writing until I was in college. And I had gone to Africa as a sophomore or something, no maybe junior and wrote a book of poems. And that was my beginning. I published that book.
Alice Walker
Those in power must spend a lot of their time laughing at us.
Alice Walker
(a womanist) 3. Loves music. Loves dance. Loves the moon. Loves the Spirit. Loves love and food and roundness. Loves struggle. Loves the Folk. Loves herself. Regardless.
Alice Walker
Israel is guilty of apartheid and persecution of the Palestinian people, both inside Israel and also in the Occupied Territories.
Alice Walker
Freedom, after all, is like love: the more you give to others, the more you have.
Alice Walker
I grew up in the South [USA states] under segregation. I know what terrorism feels like - when your father could be taken out in the middle of the night and lynched just because he didn't look like he was in an obeying frame of mind when a white person said something he must do. That's terrorism, too.
Alice Walker
Activism pays the rent on being alive and being here on the planet.
Alice Walker
This could be our revolution: to love what is plentiful as much as what's scarce.
Alice Walker
