Alice Walker
I think the War on Terror is really absurd, especially coming from a country that is founded on terrorism.

Alice Walker
In order to be able to live at all in America I must be unafraid to live anywhere in it, and I must be able to live in the fashion and with whom I choose.
Alice Walker
I don’t need a certain number of friends, just a number of friends I can be certain of.
Alice Walker
