More quotes by Alice Walker
I love my own culture. I love my African-American culture very deeply, and I know it deserves to be honored. You have to be aware that people are suffering unjustly, and given our own history we have a duty to stand for the people who are being treated like our parents and grandparents and children were treated.
Alice Walker
If you want to have a life that is worth living, a life that expresses your deepest feelings and emotions, and cares and dreams, you have to fight for it.
Alice Walker
HELPED are those who laugh with a pure heart theirs will be the company of the jolly righteous.
Alice Walker
Like I said...fine with me.
Alice Walker
As long as the Earth can make a spring every year, I can. As long as the Earth can flower and produce nurturing fruit, I can, because I'm the Earth. I won't give up until the Earth gives up.
Alice Walker
How we come into this world, how we are ushered in, met, and hopefully embraced upon arrival, impacts the whole of our time on earth.
Alice Walker
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.
Alice Walker
Writing poems is my way of celebrating with the world that I have not committed suicide the evening before.
Alice Walker
In each of us, there is a little voice that knows exactly which way to go. And I learned very early to listen to it, even though it has caused so much grief and havoc, and I think that is the only answer.
Alice Walker
One white man on the platform in South Carolina asked us where we were going--we had got off the train to get some fresh air and to dust the grit and dust out of our clothes. When we said Africa he looked offended and tickled too. Niggers going to Africa, he said to his wife. Now I have seen everything.
Alice Walker
Progress' affects few. Only revolution can affect many.
Alice Walker
War is a dead end, literally. And, what is more, we simply can't afford it. Not morally, and not financially. How long will it take the citizens of the United States, one wonders, to recognize that the house their country bombed in Iraq is the same one they were living in until it was foreclosed?
Alice Walker
My ancestors make up the skin of the world. That's who that is. That's what that is. That's us.
Alice Walker
Freedom, after all, is like love: the more you give to others, the more you have.
Alice Walker
Activism is my rent for living on the planet.
Alice Walker
Artists are messengers whose responsibility is to unite the world -- a faith that will lead not to destruction but to transformation.
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
You can just keep going and going and going, and you never get to the end of it because there is no end. The ending is a beginning. If you feel like that, then you accept that wherever you have to stop on this journey, you continue in some other form somewhere else.
Alice Walker
Even now, I find that no matter what has happened, I still have that trust. I have a lot of trust, that people can be better than they are.
Alice Walker
I think if I could not get myself off my cushion, off my couch, or away from whatever I'm eating - or drinking or partying or whatever - if I couldn't get away from that, I would have a heavy heart.
Alice Walker
