Alice Walker
Us sing and dance, make faces and give flower bouquets, trying to be loved. You ever notice that trees do everything to git attention we do, except walk?
Alice Walker
The original crime of niggers and lesbians is that they prefer themselves.
Alice Walker
What a burden to think one is conceived in sin rather than in pleasure that one is born into evil rather than into joy.
Alice Walker
I'm one in what I do and what I say and what I believe.
Alice Walker
Time moves slowly, but passes quickly.
Alice Walker
I'm for women choosing whatever they want to do but they have to really know what they are doing.
Alice Walker
This life soon be over, I say. Heaven last all ways.
Alice Walker
It's better to have your blackness taken away than to stand there and lie about who you actually are. That's the trap.
Alice Walker
