More quotes by Alice Walker
I think I'm led by spirit. I think I'm led by a sense of what is right and what feels good to me - what I accept, what is joyful, what is positive. I see my mission, in a way, as carrying that forward - not so much by preaching, but by embodiment.
Alice Walker
But I don't know how to fight. All I know how to do is stay alive.
Alice Walker
I try to teach my heart not to want things it cant have.
Alice Walker
This could be our revolution: to love what is plentiful as much as what's scarce.
Alice Walker

Alice Walker
Life is better than death, I believe, if only because it is less boring, and because it has fresh peaches in it.
Alice Walker
The protection of evil must be the most self-destructive job.
Alice Walker
I don’t need a certain number of friends, just a number of friends I can be certain of.
Alice Walker
For in the end, freedom is a personal and lonely battle and one faces down fears of today so that those of tomorrow might be engaged.
Alice Walker
My heart hurt so much I can't believe it. How can it keep beating, feeling like this?
Alice Walker
How we come into this world, how we are ushered in, met, and hopefully embraced upon arrival, impacts the whole of our time on earth.
Alice Walker
My parents taught me service - not by saying, but by doing. That was my culture, the culture of my family.
Alice Walker
It's better to have your blackness taken away than to stand and lie about who you actually are.
Alice Walker
Wish for nothing larger Than your own small heart.
Alice Walker
We're going to have to debunk the myth that Africa is a heaven for black people -- especially black women. We've been the mule of the world there and the mule of the world here.
Alice Walker
