More quotes by Alice Walker
What gardening teaches us is that if you plant things, they'll come up. But you have to be willing to wait for them to bear fruit because things are seasonal.
Alice Walker
All my life I had to fight. I had to fight my daddy. I had to fight my uncles. I had to fight my brothers. Girl, child ain't safe in a family of men, but I ain't never thought I had to fight in my own house. I loves Harpo. God knows I do. But I'll kill him dead before I let him beat me.
Alice Walker
I am an elder, and I am delighted to be an elder. I would like to exhibit [and] explore it more - what an elder could mean in this time. But, I'd like to show that elders are good for us - that they can be good for us.
Alice Walker
You don't really stay attached to things. Life goes on, so you don't really sit around and think about how they are relevant to other people. You hope that whatever you create will be [relevant].

Alice Walker
My parents taught me service - not by saying, but by doing. That was my culture, the culture of my family.
Alice Walker
People will say to you, Oh, you are fearless. That is so not true. We should stop saying that about people. It's a slander, really.
Alice Walker
We writers - we're the snowflakes of the literary world. We each have our own shape.
Alice Walker
If a person is hit hard enough, even if she stands, she falls.
Alice Walker
Drew Dellinger is a deep and courageous poet. How lucky we are!
Alice Walker
What I've seen from keeping in touch as well as I can is that what I find so typical in Mexican culture is the helpfulness of the people to each other. I think, at this point, that is the highest good and the highest we can hope for - which is to be of help and use to each other wherever we are.
Alice Walker
Human compassion is equal to human cruelty, and it is up to each of us to tip the balance.
Alice Walker
Animals can communicate quite well. And they do. And generally speaking, they are ignored
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
Propaganda is amazing, people can be led to believe anything.
Alice Walker
I find it difficult to feel responsible for the suffering of others. That's why I find war so hard to bear. It's the same with animals: I feel the less harm I do, the lighter my heart. I love a light heart. And when I know I'm causing suffering, I feel the heaviness of it. It's a physical pain. So it's self-interest that I don't want to cause harm.
Alice Walker
