More quotes by Alice Walker

Image
God is different to us now, after all these years in Africa. More spirit than ever before, and more internal. Most people think he has to look like something or someone- a roofleaf or Christ- but we don't. And not being tied to what God looks like, frees us.
Alice Walker
Image
Those in power must spend a lot of their time laughing at us.
Alice Walker
Image
How sad now never to see men holding hands, while everywhere one looks they are holding guns.
Alice Walker
Image
The Animals of the planet are in desperate peril and they are fully aware of this. No less than human beings are doing in all parts of the world, they are seeking sanctuary.

What I am really interested in is that I want people to be thinking in other ways - to stop thinking they have to remain glued to a system that has failed and to ideas about society that's necessarily about being run by Democrats or Republicans.
Alice Walker

I want something else a different system entirely. One not seen on this earth for thousands of years. If ever. Democratic Womanism. Notice how this word has man right in the middle of it? That's one reason I like it. He is right there, front and center. But he is surrounded. I want to vote and work for a way of life that honors the feminine.

...have you ever found God in church? I never did. I just found a bunch of folks hoping for him to show. Any God I ever felt in church I brought in with me. And I think all the other folks did too. They come to church to share God, not find God.

I'm sure we, the American people, are the butt of jokes by those in power.

Image
The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for white, or women created for men.

HELPED are those who are shown the existence of the Creator's magic in the Universe they shall experience delight and astonishment without ceasing.

Men make war to get attention. All killing is an expression of self-hate.

Find yourself a cup of tea the teapot is behind you. Now tell me about hundreds of things. Saki Tea to the English is really a picnic indoors.

The animals of the planet are in desperate peril... Without free animal life I believe we will lose the spiritual equivalent of oxygen.
