Alice Walker
'Thank you' is the best prayer that anyone could say.
Alice Walker
We must, I believe, start teaching our children the sanity of nonviolence much earlier.
Alice Walker
I know what I'm thinking bout, I think. Nothing. And as much of it as I can.
Alice Walker
As I get older, I realize that the thing I value the most is good-heartednes s.
Alice Walker
Wherever I have knocked, a door has opened. Wherever I have wandered, a path has appeared.
Alice Walker
The gift of loneliness is sometimes a radical vision of society or one's people that has not previously been taken into account.
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
How anyone cannot see that Nature is God is amazing to me: that they'd rather worship something that can only exist, really, in their own minds.
Alice Walker
Criticism is painful when it's not done with love.
Alice Walker
I started out as a poet. I've always been a poet since I was 7 or 8. And so I feel myself to be fundamentally a poet who got into writing novels.
Alice Walker
