Resist the temptation to think what afflicts you is peculiar to you. Have faith that what is in your consciousness can be communicated to the consciousness of all. And is, in many cases, already there.
Alice Walker
Image

Alice Walker
Image
I love us so incredibly, insanely deeply it's almost unbearable to see what we do to ourselves.
Alice Walker
Image
I feel like to be where you need to be - where you know you need to be - is such a high. What could be better?
Alice Walker
Image
You know, one race will not be a survivor if the other one dies, and that's something that we should think about.
Alice Walker
Image
Helped are those too busy living to respond when they are wrongfully attacked: on their walks they shall find mysteries so intriguing as to distract them from every blow.

You can love yourself spiritually, physically-in almost any way that anybody else can.
Alice Walker
Image
The hardest part is when you're in danger yourself. You have to face what could happen and might be likely to happen to you. It's not just that you're there standing next to somebody that something bad is likely to happen to. That is a true moment of reckoning with who you really are.

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.
