I have never felt that the one thing that I am 'known for' is what I am.
Alice Walker
Image
Curiosity is my natural state and has led me headlong into every worthwhile experience (never mind the others) I have ever had.

HELPED are those who love all the colors of all the human beings, as they love all the colors of the animals and plants none of their children, nor any of their ancestors, nor any parts of themselves, shall be hidden from them.

You seem so clear about who you are. So certain that you are just right as you are, that for all your intelligence and maybe in spite of it, you never seem to need a second opinion.
Alice Walker
Image
Activism is the rent I pay for living on this planet.
Alice Walker
Image
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
Image
I am not interested in being a role model, or in fulfilling the expectations of others. I know I am of most use to others and to myself by being this unique self: Nature, I have noticed, is not particularly devoted to copies, and human beings needn't be either.
Alice Walker
Image
To grow, to become spiritually alive, and vibrant, you really have to struggle. Without struggle, you do not move at all...I would appreciate it if readers who come to my work would try very, very, very hard not to think narrowly as we are taught to think in America.

The artist...is the voice of the people.

Image
I see children, all children, as humanity's most precious resource, because it will be to them that the care of the planet will always be left.

Image
Odinary people don't have a feeling of being loved by the people who manage to get into positions of leadership. They get in there, they make a lot of money, and then they play games with us.

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.

I just really love people a lot. I really love them.
