Alice Walker
America is America. It's a capitalist system. They [leaders] have enshrined that belief that profit matters more than anything else. The polarization of the society is just the resurfacing of that.
Alice Walker
Artists are messengers whose responsibility is to unite the world -- a faith that will lead not to destruction but to transformation.
Alice Walker

Alice Walker
Activism is my rent for living on the planet.
Alice Walker
