More quotes by Alice Walker
It no longer bothers me that I may be constantly searching for father figures by this time, I have found several and dearly enjoyed knowing them all.
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
Wherever I have knocked, a door has opened. Wherever I have wandered, a path has appeared.
Alice Walker
Anything that forces you to act at the possible harm of your own existence is going to exact a cost. You have to then think about, Can I pay this? What will this mean to me - to my relationships, to my family, to everybody? What is this going to take? How much of me is this going to take?
Alice Walker
I want something else a different system entirely. One not seen on this earth for thousands of years. If ever. Democratic Womanism. Notice how this word has man right in the middle of it? That's one reason I like it. He is right there, front and center. But he is surrounded. I want to vote and work for a way of life that honors the feminine.
Alice Walker
To me war is something to be outgrown, recognized as immature, wasteful, and so destructive to life that human beings should shun it ... as they once shunned bubonic plague.
Alice Walker
Expect nothing. Live frugally on surprise.
Alice Walker
I can spend two hours grubbing about in my garden, dazed with pleasure and intent, and it feels like five minutes.
Alice Walker
I feel I am a child that's lost its mother. I feel like a calf whose mother has gone off to slaughter.
Alice Walker
Activism pays the rent on being alive and being here on the planet.
Alice Walker
Well, I think indigenous peoples have ways of living on the Earth that they've had forever. And they've been overrun by organized religion, which has had a lot of money and power.
Alice Walker
I'm not being disrespectful of the medium it's just not as important as the work that I actually do [books].
Alice Walker
If a person is hit hard enough, even if she stands, she falls.
Alice Walker
I feel that the ancestors are that covering that will cover me. I feel like I can only be enveloped in them spiritually and physically.
Alice Walker
Find yourself a cup of tea the teapot is behind you. Now tell me about hundreds of things. Saki Tea to the English is really a picnic indoors.
Alice Walker
The experience of God, or in any case the possibility of experiencing God, is innate.
Alice Walker
Every soul is to be cherished, every flower is to bloom.
Alice Walker
Decide that you know what you think is good for you and go ahead and do it.
Alice Walker
In South Korea, they believe that when you turn 60, you've become a baby again and the rest of your life should be totally about joy and happiness, and people should leave you alone, and I just think that that's the height of intelligence.
Alice Walker
In the far upper corner of my altar is a photo of Joan Crawford in her most fierce Mommy Dearest mode, just to remind me of some of the cost of everyone's hard-earned sweetness and light.
Alice Walker
