More quotes by Alice Walker
The world is changing. It is no longer a world just for boys and men
Alice Walker
I come from somewhere and from specific black people in the South, including my parents, who built our first school, and rebuilt it after it was burned to the ground. And they used to bake pies and cakes to raise money to keep it going. So, I learned to struggle from a very early way in a way that was truly indigenous to the South.

I could never live happily in Africa-or anywhere else-until I could live freely in Mississippi.
Alice Walker
Activism pays the rent on being alive and being here on the planet.
Alice Walker
For in the end, freedom is a personal and lonely battle and one faces down fears of today so that those of tomorrow might be engaged.
Alice Walker
Some colored people so scared of whitefolks they claim to love the cotton gin.
Alice Walker
Life is abundant, and life is beautiful. And it's a good place that we're all in, you know, on this earth, if we take care of it.
Alice Walker

Alice Walker
Nature has created us with the capacity to know God, to experience God.
Alice Walker
It is healthier, in any case, to write for the adults one's children will become than for the children one's 'mature' critics often are.
Alice Walker

Alice Walker

Alice Walker
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.
Alice Walker
I think I'm led by spirit. I think I'm led by a sense of what is right and what feels good to me - what I accept, what is joyful, what is positive. I see my mission, in a way, as carrying that forward - not so much by preaching, but by embodiment.
Alice Walker
My mother had handed down respect for the possibilities...and the will to grasp them.
Alice Walker
War contributes greatly to global warming, which shouldn't surprise us. All those bombs going off, all those rockets, all those planes and helicopters. All that fuel of various kinds being used. It pollutes the air and water of this very fragile and interconnected planet.
Alice Walker
I am not interested in being a role model, or in fulfilling the expectations of others. I know I am of most use to others and to myself by being this unique self: Nature, I have noticed, is not particularly devoted to copies, and human beings needn't be either.
Alice Walker
I have fallen in love with the imagination. And if you fall in love with the imagination, you understand that it is a free spirit. It will go anywhere, and it can do anything.
Alice Walker
Aside from the fact that they say it's unhealthy, my fat ain't never been no trouble. Mens always have loved me. My kids ain't never complained. Plus they's fat.
Alice Walker
