Alice Walker
In our particular society, it is the narrowed and narrowing view of life that often wins.
Alice Walker
You can't send me anywhere that I wouldn't be happy to go. You'd be surprised as to how that lightens the heart.
Alice Walker
Helped are those too busy living to respond when they are wrongfully attacked: on their walks they shall find mysteries so intriguing as to distract them from every blow.
Alice Walker
The more I wonder, the more I love.
