More quotes by Alice Walker
'Thank you' is the best prayer that anyone could say. I say that one a lot. Thank you expresses extreme gratitude, humility, understanding.
Alice Walker
I don't know nothing, I think. And glad of it.
Alice Walker
It matters to me that I feel loved by the universe - and I do.
Alice Walker

Laughter isn't even the other side of tears. It is tears turned inside out. Truly the suffering is great, here on earth. We blunder along, shredded by our mistakes, bludgeoned by our faults. Not having a clue where the dark path leads us. But on the whole, we stumble along bravely, don't you think?
Alice Walker

I think that wealthy white people would like to have a country that resembles the Fifties, when all the minorities were tucked away in ghettos and paid in very low wages but on the surface it was very bright and shiny and free and the rest of the world would look on it longingly.
Alice Walker
Be nobody's darling Be an outcast. Take the contradictions Of your life And wrap around You like a shawl, To parry stones To keep you warm.
Alice Walker
Resist the temptation to think what afflicts you is peculiar to you. Have faith that what is in your consciousness can be communicated to the consciousness of all. And is, in many cases, already there.
Alice Walker
Be compassionate to everyone. Don't just search for whatever it is that annoys and frightens you-see beyond those things to the basic human being. Especially see the child in the man or woman. Even if they are destroying you, allow a moment to see how lost in their own delusion and suffering they are.
Alice Walker
Abortion is an act of self-defense.
Alice Walker
I feel that the ancestors are that covering that will cover me. I feel like I can only be enveloped in them spiritually and physically.
Alice Walker
Life is better than death, I believe, if only because it is less boring, and because it has fresh peaches in it.
Alice Walker
Activism is my rent for living on the planet.
Alice Walker
We have elders who [are] misguided and wallowing around in troughs of money with the wrong sort. They're not really good elders for the youth to emulate. The youth rightly don't like them.
