Alice Walker
HELPED are those who lose their fear of death theirs is the power to envision the future in a blade of grass.
Alice Walker
Whenever I have knocked, a door has opened. Wherever I have wandered, a path has appeared. I have been helped, supported, encouraged and nurtured by people of all races, creeds, colors and dreams.

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
The long-term accommodation that protects marriage and other such relationships is ... forgetfulness.
Alice Walker
I don't know nothing, I think. And glad of it.
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
I always have felt that elders are really important. I think it's because, in my little Southern black culture, elders really were respected. Everybody listened to them. They may not have agreed - that's a whole different story - but they would totally listen and consider what the elder had to say.
Alice Walker
Healing begins where the wound was made.
Alice Walker
All History is current all injustice continues on some level, somewhere in the world.
Alice Walker
In each of us, there is a little voice that knows exactly which way to go. And I learned very early to listen to it, even though it has caused so much grief and havoc, and I think that is the only answer.
Alice Walker
