More quotes by Alice Walker
Poetry is the lifeblood of rebellion, revolution, and the raising of consciousness.
Alice Walker

Alice Walker
Expect nothing. Live frugally on surprise.
Alice Walker
I think there is a sense of being forced at this time to look at America's really large shadow and that's not all that bad.
Alice Walker
Guided by my heritage of a love of beauty and a respect for strength - in search of my mother's garden, I found my own.
Alice Walker
People will say to you, Oh, you are fearless. That is so not true. We should stop saying that about people. It's a slander, really.
Alice Walker
The artist...is the voice of the people.
Alice Walker
You're not here just to be a clone. You're not here to be a copy. We have enough of those. You don't have to apply. You don't even have to go there to be absolutely yourself - real, here, now, on this planet.
Alice Walker

Alice Walker
It's better to have your blackness taken away than to stand and lie about who you actually are.
Alice Walker
There's an ecstatic side to writing. It's like jazz. It just has a life.
Alice Walker
As long as the Earth can make a spring every year, I can.
Alice Walker
I'm the most stubborn person I know.
Alice Walker
My writing is very organic. It's what I am. My mother says I was writing before I was crawling. I wrote in the dirt with a twig. So I think of it as something that's very essential to my being.
Alice Walker
I don't know nothing, I think. And glad of it.
Alice Walker
It is healthier, in any case, to write for the adults one's children will become than for the children one's 'mature' critics often are.
Alice Walker
A burnt finger remember the fire.
