More quotes by Alice Walker
I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it. People think pleasing God is all God cares about. But any fool living in the world can see it always trying to please us back.
Alice Walker
I can imagine in years to come that my papers and memorabilia, my journals and letters, will find themselves always in the company of people who care about many of the things I do.
Alice Walker
My parents taught me service - not by saying, but by doing. That was my culture, the culture of my family.
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
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
There's an ecstatic side to writing. It's like jazz. It just has a life.
Alice Walker
You a low down dog is what’s wrong. It’s time to leave you and enter into the creation. And your dead body just the welcome mat I need.
Alice Walker
Resist the temptation to think what afflicts you is peculiar to you. Have faith that what is in your consciousness can be communicated to the consciousness of all. And is, in many cases, already there.
Alice Walker

Alice Walker
Expect nothing. Live frugally on surprise.
Alice Walker
Life is better than death, I believe, if only because it is less boring, and because it has fresh peaches in it.
Alice Walker
Whoever you are, whatever you are, start with that, whether salt of the earth or only white sugar.
Alice Walker
I feel that the ancestors are that covering that will cover me. I feel like I can only be enveloped in them spiritually and physically.
Alice Walker
I think that wealthy white people would like to have a country that resembles the Fifties, when all the minorities were tucked away in ghettos and paid in very low wages but on the surface it was very bright and shiny and free and the rest of the world would look on it longingly.
Alice Walker
There are those who believe Black people possess the secret of joy and that it is this that will sustain them through any spiritual or moral or physical devastation.
Alice Walker
Surely the earth can be saved by all the people who insist on love.
Alice Walker
As an elder of the Americas and of the rest of the planet, it is my responsibility to care for and protect, to the best of my ability, the young.
Alice Walker
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.
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
Human compassion is equal to human cruelty, and it is up to each of us to tip the balance.
Alice Walker
