I feel a little peculiar around the children. For one thing, they grown. And I see they think me and Nettie and Shug and Albert and Samuel and Harpo and Sofia and Jack and Odessa real old and don't know much what going on. But I don't think us feel old at all.

Alice Walker
How we come into this world, how we are ushered in, met, and hopefully embraced upon arrival, impacts the whole of our time on earth.
Alice Walker
Find yourself a cup of tea the teapot is behind you. Now tell me about hundreds of things. Saki Tea to the English is really a picnic indoors.
Alice Walker
I think the War on Terror is really absurd, especially coming from a country that is founded on terrorism.
Alice Walker
In my opinion and experience, imperialists of all nations and races will tell us anything to keep us fighting. For them.

Healing cannot be done by settling a score.

This could be our revolution: to love what is plentiful as much as what's scarce.
Alice Walker
I'm for women choosing whatever they want to do but they have to really know what they are doing.
Alice Walker
We must, I believe, start teaching our children the sanity of nonviolence much earlier.
Alice Walker
Nobody is as powerful as we make them out to be.
Alice Walker
You don't need organized religion to connect with the universe. Often a church is the only place you can go to find peace and quiet... But it shouldn't be confused with connecting with one's spirit.
Alice Walker
