My big complaint with myself is that I get tired. But, I forgive myself because it's human to get tired. But, I didn't always feel like I could forgive myself. There's a certain [drive], I think.

Alice Walker
There is always a moment in any kind of struggle when one feels in full bloom. Vivid. Alive. One might be blown to bits in such a moment and still be at peace.
Alice Walker
To me, the black black woman is our essential mother, the blacker she is the more us she is and to see the hatred that is turned on her is enough to make me despair, almost entirely, of our future as a people.
Alice Walker
I have fought and kicked and fasted and prayed and cursed and cried myself to the point of existing.
Alice Walker
What hurts the most is being misunderstood. They tell me that's an Aquarian trait - that that's the thing we don't like.
Alice Walker
Healing begins where the wound was made.
Alice Walker
It's better to have your blackness taken away than to stand and lie about who you actually are.
Alice Walker
Listen, God loves everything you love, and a mess of stuff you don't.
Alice Walker
It didn't take long to realize I didn't hardly know nothing. And that if you ast yourself why you black or a man or a woman or a bush it don't mean nothing if you don't ast why you here, period
Alice Walker
Only dead people need loud music, you know.
Alice Walker
We alone can devalue gold by not caring if it falls or rises in the marketplace. Wherever there is gold there is a chain, you know, and if your chain is gold so much the worse for you.
Alice Walker
