But I don't know how to fight. All I know how to do is stay alive.
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
Nature has created us with the capacity to know God, to experience God.
Alice Walker
Dear God...I have always been a good girl. Maybe you can give me a sign letting me know what is happening to me.
Alice Walker
Laughter isn't even the other side of tears. It is tears turned inside out. Truly the suffering is great, here on earth.
Alice Walker
I always have felt that elders are really important. I think it's because, in my little Southern black culture, elders really were respected. Everybody listened to them. They may not have agreed - that's a whole different story - but they would totally listen and consider what the elder had to say.
Alice Walker
I almost never do anything for Black History Month, because I feel it's just another way to separate us.
Alice Walker

Alice Walker
I'm one in what I do and what I say and what I believe.
Alice Walker
Be an outcast. Be pleased to walk alone.
Alice Walker

Alice Walker
In a way, no matter who's in charge of the corporation that the United States is, the direction in which it is taken seems to be inexorable. So, you just get the job of being the front man for four or eight years. Now, most people realize that's what you are.
Alice Walker
The forest is the first cathedral. I felt that from the time I was a child. I credit my mother with that. I used to think it came from her Native-American side. Whichever it was, she instinctively connected with nature, and taught me that. Church just could not hold my spirit.
Alice Walker
It is justice and respect that I want the world to dust off and put - without delay, and with tenderness - back on the head of the Palestinian child. It will be imperfect justice and respect because the injustice and disrespect have been so severe. But I believe we are right to try.
Alice Walker
HELPED are those who laugh with a pure heart theirs will be the company of the jolly righteous.

Never be the only one, except, possibly, in your own home.
