More quotes by Alice Walker
Helped are those who forgive their reward shall be forgetfulness of every evil done to them. It will be in their power, therefore, to envision the new Earth. -----“The Gospel According to Shug
Alice Walker
There is no graceful way to carry hatred.
Alice Walker
All partisan movements add to the fullness of our understanding of society as a whole. They never detract or, in any case, one must not allow them to do so. Experience adds to experience.
Alice Walker
Critics don't really affect the fact that we live in this paradise and what the meaning of that [is]. And what luck to have this!
Alice Walker
HELPED are those who live in quietness, knowing neither brand name nor fad they shall live every day as if in eternity, and each moment shall be as full as it is long.
Alice Walker
no person is your friend (or kin) who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow and be perceived as fully blossomed as you were intended. Or who belittles in any fashion the gifts you labor so to bring into the world.
Alice Walker
My God is not a religious God. My God is nature, my God is everything there is. That's God. Everything is God. I'm a child of that.
Alice Walker
People are called 'stars' not only because they shine... because the qualities they exemplify are... eternal. We are attracted to their sparkle, their warmth, their light, but they will be forever distant from us. So distant we can never quite believe our inseparability. Never quite believe that we are also composed of the light they have.
Alice Walker
A burnt finger remember the fire.
Alice Walker
If I'm killed - if I'm removed - there is nowhere else for me to go but to my ancestors.
Alice Walker
Creation is a sustained period of bliss.
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
It's so clear that you have to cherish everyone. I think that's what I get from these older black women, that every soul is to be cherished, that every flower Is to bloom.
Alice Walker
we are the ones we have been waiting for
Alice Walker
Well, capitalism is a big problem, because with capitalism you're just going to keep buying and selling things until there's nothing else to buy and sell, which means gobbling up the planet.
Alice Walker
The infinite faith I have in people's ability to understand anything that makes sense has always been justified, finally, by their behavior.
Alice Walker
The world is changing. It is no longer a world just for boys and men
Alice Walker
When life descends into the pit I must become my own candle Willingly burning my self To light up the darkness around me.
Alice Walker
Listen, God loves everything you love, and a mess of stuff you don't.
Alice Walker
The sight of a Black nun strikes their sentimentality and, as I am unalterably rooted in native ground, they consider me a work of primitive art, housed in a magical color the incarnation of civilized, anti-heathenism, and the fruit of a triumphing idea.
Alice Walker
