Alice Walker
Be an outcast. Be pleased to walk alone.

You're not here just to be a clone. You're not here to be a copy. We have enough of those. You don't have to apply. You don't even have to go there to be absolutely yourself - real, here, now, on this planet.

Alice Walker
What I am really interested in is that I want people to be thinking in other ways - to stop thinking they have to remain glued to a system that has failed and to ideas about society that's necessarily about being run by Democrats or Republicans.
Alice Walker

Alice Walker
Fiction is such a world of freedom, it's wonderful. If you want someone to fly, they can fly.
Alice Walker
Men make war to get attention. All killing is an expression of self-hate.
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

I grew up in the South [USA states] under segregation. I know what terrorism feels like - when your father could be taken out in the middle of the night and lynched just because he didn't look like he was in an obeying frame of mind when a white person said something he must do. That's terrorism, too.
