More quotes by Alice Walker
No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.
Alice Walker
War will stop when we no longer praise it, or give it any attention at all. Peace will come wherever it is sincerely invited.
Alice Walker
How simple a thing it seems to me that to know ourselves as we are, we must know our mothers names.
Alice Walker
Nobody is as powerful as we make them out to be.
Alice Walker
Helped are those who are content to be themselves they will never lack mystery in their lives and the joys of self-discovery will be constant.
Alice Walker
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. And us so happy. Matter of fact, I think this the youngest us ever felt.
Alice Walker
The more I wonder, the more I love.
Alice Walker
What the mind doesn't understand, it worships or fears.
Alice Walker
To me, the black black woman is our essential mother, the blacker she is the more us she is and to see the hatred that is turned on her is enough to make me despair, almost entirely, of our future as a people.
Alice Walker
I just really love people a lot. I really love them.
Alice Walker
Animals were not made for us, or our use. They have their own use, which is just being who they are.
Alice Walker
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.
Alice Walker
I'm sure we, the American people, are the butt of jokes by those in power.
Alice Walker
War is a dead end, literally. And, what is more, we simply can't afford it. Not morally, and not financially. How long will it take the citizens of the United States, one wonders, to recognize that the house their country bombed in Iraq is the same one they were living in until it was foreclosed?
Alice Walker
I believe God is everything, say Shug. Everything that is or ever was or ever will be. And when you can feel that, and be happy to feel that, you've found It.
Alice Walker
Many people are aware that we are in peril and that there is no trustworthy leadership.
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.
Alice Walker
Progress' affects few. Only revolution can affect many.
Alice Walker
Drew Dellinger is a deep and courageous poet. How lucky we are!
Alice Walker
The gift of loneliness is sometimes a radical vision of society or one's people that has not previously been taken into account.
