The Congo is really beautiful. People correct me and say, Oh, you mean the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Well, fine. But, the land there, the landscape is extraordinary. It's big lakes and beautiful hills and trees.
Alice Walker
It's so important to unclutter the mind. For me, creativity is greatly impeded just by the chatter and visual clutter of life. It's really important to have a space that is really clear for whatever is emerging to come.

we are the ones we have been waiting for
Alice Walker
I think that wealthy white people would like to have a country that resembles the Fifties, when all the minorities were tucked away in ghettos and paid in very low wages but on the surface it was very bright and shiny and free and the rest of the world would look on it longingly.
Alice Walker
No matter how hidden the cruelty, no matter how far off the screams of pain and terror, we live in one world. We are one people.
Alice Walker
It is healthier, in any case, to write for the adults one's children will become than for the children one's 'mature' critics often are.
Alice Walker
Oh, Celie, unbelief is a terrible thing. And so is the hurt we cause others unknowingly.
Alice Walker
We are a people. A people do not throw their geniuses away. If they do, it is our duty as witnesses for the future to collect them again for the sake of our children. If necessary, bone by bone.
Alice Walker
