Alice Walker
The quietly pacifist peaceful always die to make room for men who shout.
Alice Walker

Alice Walker
Human compassion is equal to human cruelty, and it is up to each of us to tip the balance.
Alice Walker
Whoever you are, whatever you are, start with that, whether salt of the earth or only white sugar.
Alice Walker
Activism is the rent I pay for living on this planet.
Alice Walker
Language is an intrinsic part of who we are and what has, for good or evil, happened to us.
Alice Walker
Eventually I knew what hair wanted it wanted to be itself ... to be left alone by anyone, including me, who did not love it as it was.
Alice Walker
The world is changing. It is no longer a world just for boys and men
Alice Walker
I think America has always been polarized... It's a racist country and it has always been.
