Alice Walker

Poetry is the lifeblood of rebellion, revolution, and the raising of consciousness.
Alice Walker

Critics don't really affect the fact that we live in this paradise and what the meaning of that [is]. And what luck to have this!
Alice Walker
Image
God is inside you and inside everybody else. You come into the world with God. But only them that search for it inside find it. And sometimes it just manifest itself even if you not looking, or don't know what you looking for. Trouble do it for most folks, I think. ... Yeah, It. God ain't a he or a she, but a It.

People do not wish to appear foolish to avoid the appearance of foolishness, they are willing to remain actually fools.
Alice Walker
Image
If I could live as a tree, as a river, as the moon, as the sun, as a star, as the earth, as a rock, I would. ...Writing permits me to experience life as any number of strange creations.

Be an outcast. Be pleased to walk alone.
