Quote

I see children, all children, as humanity's most precious resource, because it will be to them that the care of the planet will always be left.

HELPED are those who love the entire cosmos rather than their own tiny country, city, or farm, for to them will be shown the unbroken web of life and the meaning of infinity.

Whenever you are creating beauty around you, you are restoring your own soul.

The hardest part is when you're in danger yourself. You have to face what could happen and might be likely to happen to you. It's not just that you're there standing next to somebody that something bad is likely to happen to. That is a true moment of reckoning with who you really are.
Alice Walker

My activism really is for myself, because I see places in the world where I feel I should be. If there is something really bad, really evil, happening somewhere, then that is where I should be. I need, for myself, to feel that I have stood there. It feels a lot better than just watching it on television.

The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for white, or women created for men.

Listen, God loves everything you love, and a mess of stuff you don't.

God is different to us now, after all these years in Africa. More spirit than ever before, and more internal. Most people think he has to look like something or someone- a roofleaf or Christ- but we don't. And not being tied to what God looks like, frees us.

To know is to exist to exist is to be involved, to move about, to see the world with my own eyes.

I am an elder, and I am delighted to be an elder. I would like to exhibit [and] explore it more - what an elder could mean in this time. But, I'd like to show that elders are good for us - that they can be good for us.

Don't wait around for other people to be happy for you. Any happiness you get you've got to make yourself.
Alice Walker
Image
I'm where I need to be, so my heart is light. Whatever happens, I know - I mean, I feel - that this is absolutely where I should be and I've lived up to my own expectations.

To grow, to become spiritually alive, and vibrant, you really have to struggle. Without struggle, you do not move at all...I would appreciate it if readers who come to my work would try very, very, very hard not to think narrowly as we are taught to think in America.

Poetry, I have discovered, is always unexpected and always as faithful and honest as dreams.

Hard times require furious dancing. Each of us is proof.

The gift of loneliness is sometimes a radical vision of society or one's people that has not previously been taken into account.

Freedom, after all, is like love: the more you give to others, the more you have.

allowing freedom to others brings freedom to ourselves.

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.

The earth is wise. It has given itself into the keeping of all, and all are therefore accountable.
