Alice Walker
It's so clear that you have to cherish everyone.
Alice Walker
If I could live as a tree, as a river, as the moon, as the sun, as a star, as the earth, as a rock, I would. ...Writing permits me to experience life as any number of strange creations.
Alice Walker
I am not convinced that men and women were ever meant to share the same house, though some people can do it beautifully.
Alice Walker
Wherever I have knocked, a door has opened. Wherever I have wandered, a path has appeared.
