Quote

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.

Being happy is not the only happiness.
Alice Walker

One thing that never ceases to amaze me, along with the growth of vegetation from the earth and of hair from the head, is the growth of understanding.
Alice Walker

When you are active, and you must know this so well, that the more you are active, the more you see, the more you go to see. You know, you are curious. One thing leads to another thing, and it gets deeper and deeper, too. And there's no end to it.

It just seems clear to me that as long as we are all here, it's pretty clear that the struggle is to share the planet, rather than divide it.

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.

I want something else a different system entirely. One not seen on this earth for thousands of years. If ever. Democratic Womanism. Notice how this word has man right in the middle of it? That's one reason I like it. He is right there, front and center. But he is surrounded. I want to vote and work for a way of life that honors the feminine.

Nobody is as powerful as we make them out to be.

It matters to me that I feel loved by the universe - and I do.

What the mind doesn't understand, it worships or fears.

Revolt is the mirror in which greed is forced to see itself.

Abortion, for many women, is more than an experience of suffering beyond anything most men will ever know, it is an act of mercy, and an act of self-defense.

The artist...is the voice of the people.

Oh, Celie, unbelief is a terrible thing. And so is the hurt we cause others unknowingly.

You know a little drink now and then never hurt nobody, but when you can't git started without asking the bottle, you in trouble.

No song or poem will bear my mother's name. Yet so many of the stories that I write, that we all write, are my mother's stories.

We should learn to accept that change is truly the only thing that's going on always, and learn to ride with it and enjoy it.

You know, one race will not be a survivor if the other one dies, and that's something that we should think about.
Alice Walker

The harm that you do to others is the harm that you do to yourself and you cannot think then that you can cause wars in other parts of the world and destroy people and drone them without this having a terrible impact on your own soul and your own consciousness.
