More quotes by Alice Walker
Life is better than death, I believe, if only because it is less boring, and because it has fresh peaches in it.
Alice Walker
Criticism is painful when it's not done with love.
Alice Walker
Be an outcast. Be pleased to walk alone.
Alice Walker
Curiosity is my natural state and has led me headlong into every worthwhile experience (never mind the others) I have ever had.
Alice Walker
It matters to me that I feel loved by the universe - and I do.
Alice Walker
Well, capitalism is a big problem, because with capitalism you're just going to keep buying and selling things until there's nothing else to buy and sell, which means gobbling up the planet.
Alice Walker
I am not interested in being a role model, or in fulfilling the expectations of others. I know I am of most use to others and to myself by being this unique self: Nature, I have noticed, is not particularly devoted to copies, and human beings needn't be either.
Alice Walker
But I don't know how to fight. All I know how to do is stay alive.
Alice Walker
The long-term accommodation that protects marriage and other such relationships is ... forgetfulness.
Alice Walker
I think America has always been polarized... It's a racist country and it has always been.
Alice Walker
I can imagine in years to come that my papers and memorabilia, my journals and letters, will find themselves always in the company of people who care about many of the things I do.
Alice Walker
Whenever I have knocked, a door has opened. Wherever I have wandered, a path has appeared. I have been helped, supported, encouraged and nurtured by people of all races, creeds, colors and dreams.
Alice Walker
In our particular society, it is the narrowed and narrowing view of life that often wins.
Alice Walker
Us sing and dance, make faces and give flower bouquets, trying to be loved. You ever notice that trees do everything to git attention we do, except walk?
Alice Walker
What I am really interested in is that I want people to be thinking in other ways - to stop thinking they have to remain glued to a system that has failed and to ideas about society that's necessarily about being run by Democrats or Republicans.
Alice Walker
Is solace anywhere more comforting than that in the arms of a sister.
Alice Walker
People are called 'stars' not only because they shine... because the qualities they exemplify are... eternal. We are attracted to their sparkle, their warmth, their light, but they will be forever distant from us. So distant we can never quite believe our inseparability. Never quite believe that we are also composed of the light they have.
Alice Walker
People who work hard often work too hard. ... May we learn to honor the hammock, the siesta, the nap and the pause in all its forms.
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
I'm the most stubborn person I know.
