I'm sure we, the American people, are the butt of jokes by those in power.
Alice Walker
Love likes to extend itself. If you receive it in a book - or however you get it - then your duty is to extend it beyond.
Alice Walker
If I'm killed - if I'm removed - there is nowhere else for me to go but to my ancestors.
Alice Walker
I'm pore, I'm black, I may be ugly and can't cook, a voice say to everything listening. But I'm here.

I feel a little peculiar around the children. For one thing, they grown. And I see they think me and Nettie and Shug and Albert and Samuel and Harpo and Sofia and Jack and Odessa real old and don't know much what going on. But I don't think us feel old at all. And us so happy. Matter of fact, I think this the youngest us ever felt.
Alice Walker
Womanist is to feminist as purple is to lavender.
Alice Walker
I'm one in what I do and what I say and what I believe.
Alice Walker
You don't need organized religion to connect with the universe. Often a church is the only place you can go to find peace and quiet... But it shouldn't be confused with connecting with one's spirit.
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
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
My heart hurt so much I can't believe it. How can it keep beating, feeling like this?
Alice Walker
To me war is something to be outgrown, recognized as immature, wasteful, and so destructive to life that human beings should shun it ... as they once shunned bubonic plague.
Alice Walker
You can't truly have an open heart until it's been broken.
