More quotes by Alice Walker
Yoga means to bind back, unite. To bring the body and the soul together. For this reason the practice of yoga is a holy endeavor and the teaching of it to our people a very high calling.
Alice Walker
If I'm killed - if I'm removed - there is nowhere else for me to go but to my ancestors.
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
I just like to have words that describe things correctly. Now to me, 'black feminist' does not do that. I need a word that is organic, that really comes out of the culture, that really expresses the spirit that we see in black women. And it's just... womanish.
Alice Walker
It is natural to want to have a future.
Alice Walker
The nature of this flower is to bloom.
Alice Walker
I think writing really helps you heal yourself. I think if you write long enough, you will be a healthy person. That is, if you write what you need to write, as opposed to what will make money, or what will make fame.
Alice Walker
It must become a right of every person to die of old age. And if we secure this right for ourselves, we can, coincidentally, assure it for the planet.
Alice Walker
I am not interested in being a role model, or in fulfilling the expectations of others. I know I am of most use to others and to myself by being this unique self: Nature, I have noticed, is not particularly devoted to copies, and human beings needn't be either.
Alice Walker
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. But, now I feel like, OK, you can be tired. People should let you be tired. Then you should go and take a nap, and you should sleep. That's about it.
Alice Walker
Even as I hold you, I am letting you go.
Alice Walker
Is solace anywhere more comforting than that in the arms of a sister.
Alice Walker
Poetry is the lifeblood of rebellion, revolution, and the raising of consciousness.
Alice Walker
Decide that you know what you think is good for you and go ahead and do it.
Alice Walker
Meditation is like the cloak of the good thief. You find a corner or somewhere where you can actually entertain your own self and your own soul, and understand what your work [is] here.
Alice Walker
I know what I'm thinking bout, I think. Nothing. And as much of it as I can.
Alice Walker
I am not convinced that men and women were ever meant to share the same house, though some people can do it beautifully.
Alice Walker
The quietly pacifist peaceful always die to make room for men who shout.
Alice Walker
It's essential that we understand that taking care of the planet will be done as we take care of ourselves. You know that you can't really make much of a difference in things until you change yourself.
Alice Walker
Everything wanna be loved. Us sing and dance, and holla just wanting to be loved.
Alice Walker
