Alice Walker
I don't call myself a Buddhist. I'm a free spirit. I believe I'm here on earth to admire and enjoy it that's my religion.
Alice Walker
I am not interested in being a role model, or in fulfilling the expectations of others. I know I am of most use to others and to myself by being this unique self: Nature, I have noticed, is not particularly devoted to copies, and human beings needn't be either.
Alice Walker
It didn't take long to realize I didn't hardly know nothing. And that if you ast yourself why you black or a man or a woman or a bush it don't mean nothing if you don't ast why you here, period
Alice Walker
She was so quiet. So reflective. And she could erase herself, her spirit, with a swiftness that truly startled, when she knew the people around her could not respect it.
Alice Walker
Every small positive change we make in ourselves repays us in confidence in the future.
Alice Walker
The experience of God, or in any case the possibility of experiencing God, is innate.
Alice Walker
Yoga means to bind back, unite. To bring the body and the soul together. For this reason the practice of yoga is a holy endeavor and the teaching of it to our people a very high calling.
Alice Walker
Horses make a landscape look beautiful.
Alice Walker
Love likes to extend itself. If you receive it in a book - or however you get it - then your duty is to extend it beyond.
Alice Walker
My heart hurt so much I can't believe it. How can it keep beating, feeling like this?
Alice Walker
Just because I don't harass it like some peoples us know don't mean I ain't got religion.
Alice Walker
If art doesn't make us better, then what on earth is it for.
