More quotes by Alice Walker

But it ain't easy, trying to do without God even if you know he ain't there, trying to do without him is a strain
Alice Walker
Stretching [and] yoga [are] very helpful. All of these things - they really do help. Good food and a lot of sleep. And reading - reading good books. Sometimes movies - although a lot of the movies are difficult.
Alice Walker
Time moves slowly, but passes quickly.
Alice Walker
I don't focus on criticism. I prefer to praise people and the world, rather than criticize them and it.
Alice Walker
The earth is wise. It has given itself into the keeping of all, and all are therefore accountable.

Alice Walker
