More quotes by Alice Walker
Writing saved me from the sin and inconvenience of violence - as it saves most writers who live in 'interesting' oppressive times and are not afflicted by personal immunity.
Alice Walker
In my work and in myself I reflect black people, women and men, as I reflect others. One day even the most self-protective ones will look into the mirror I provide and not be afraid.
Alice Walker
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
I continue to care for President Obama and for his family. I think that in many ways they are very courageous people, and I honor that, because I know what it means to live as a black person in a racist America.
Alice Walker
Wherever I have knocked, a door has opened. Wherever I have wandered, a path has appeared.
Alice Walker
'Thank you' is the best prayer that anyone could say.
Alice Walker
Stretching [and] yoga [are] very helpful. All of these things - they really do help. Good food and a lot of sleep. And reading - reading good books. Sometimes movies - although a lot of the movies are difficult.
Alice Walker
HELPED are those who live in quietness, knowing neither brand name nor fad they shall live every day as if in eternity, and each moment shall be as full as it is long.
Alice Walker
When people become elders - when they're older they can be old without being an elder, really. They [can] just be old and not very useful.
Alice Walker
It's better to have your blackness taken away than to stand there and lie about who you actually are. That's the trap.
Alice Walker
I really think admiration for nature can save us. I mean true admiration, to the point of not letting it be harmed.
Alice Walker
The long-term accommodation that protects marriage and other such relationships is ... forgetfulness.
Alice Walker
This could be our revolution: to love what is plentiful as much as what's scarce.
Alice Walker
Anything we love can be saved.
Alice Walker
I had assumed that the Earth, the spirit of the Earth, noticed exceptions-those who wantonly damage it and those who do not. But the Earth is wise. It has given itself into the keeping of all, and all are therefore accountable.
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
Activism pays the rent on being alive and being here on the planet.
Alice Walker
War will stop when we no longer praise it, or give it any attention at all. Peace will come wherever it is sincerely invited.
Alice Walker
Creation is a sustained period of bliss, even though the subject can still be very sad. Because there's the triumph of coming through and understanding that you have, and that you did it the way only you could do it. You didn't do it the way somebody told you to do it. You did it just the way you had to do it, and that is what makes us us.
Alice Walker
After all, how can a society flourish, a country attain democracy and health, children grow into intelligent beings, sensitive to the needs of an ever more fragile and endangered planet, if half it's people are kept out of the driver's seat?
Alice Walker
