More quotes by Alice Walker
What you hope for, you also fear.
Alice Walker
I think there is a sense of being forced at this time to look at America's really large shadow and that's not all that bad.
Alice Walker
In a way, no matter who's in charge of the corporation that the United States is, the direction in which it is taken seems to be inexorable. So, you just get the job of being the front man for four or eight years. Now, most people realize that's what you are.
Alice Walker
There is always a moment in any kind of struggle when one feels in full bloom. Vivid. Alive. One might be blown to bits in such a moment and still be at peace.
Alice Walker
I have never felt that the one thing that I am 'known for' is what I am.
Alice Walker
Israel is guilty of apartheid and persecution of the Palestinian people, both inside Israel and also in the Occupied Territories.
Alice Walker
Creation is a sustained period of bliss, even though the subject can still be very sad. Because there's the triumph of coming through and understanding that you have, and that you did it the way only you could do it. You didn't do it the way somebody told you to do it. You did it just the way you had to do it, and that is what makes us us.
Alice Walker
Like I said...fine with me.
Alice Walker
Books became my world because the world I was in was very hard.
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
I think America has always been polarized... It's a racist country and it has always been.
Alice Walker
The most important question in the world is, 'Why is the child crying?'
Alice Walker
How sad now never to see men holding hands, while everywhere one looks they are holding guns.
Alice Walker
Revolt is the mirror in which greed is forced to see itself.
Alice Walker
Abortion, for many women, is more than an experience of suffering beyond anything most men will ever know, it is an act of mercy, and an act of self-defense.
Alice Walker
I try to teach my heart not to want things it cant have.
Alice Walker
The trouble with our people is as soon as they got out of slavery they didn't want to give the white man nothing else. But the fact is, you got to give em something. Either your money, your land, your woman or your ass.
Alice Walker
Writing saved me from the sin and inconvenience of violence - as it saves most writers who live in 'interesting' oppressive times and are not afflicted by personal immunity.
Alice Walker
There are those who believe Black people possess the secret of joy and that it is this that will sustain them through any spiritual or moral or physical devastation.
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
