More quotes by Alice Walker
My mother had handed down respect for the possibilities...and the will to grasp them.
Alice Walker
You can't truly have an open heart until it's been broken.
Alice Walker
In my work and in myself I reflect black people, women and men, as I reflect others. One day even the most self-protective ones will look into the mirror I provide and not be afraid.
Alice Walker
God is different to us now, after all these years in Africa. More spirit than ever before, and more internal. Most people think he has to look like something or someone- a roofleaf or Christ- but we don't. And not being tied to what God looks like, frees us.
Alice Walker
The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for white, or women created for men.
Alice Walker
Sexuality is one of the ways that we become enlightened, actually, because it leads us to self-knowledge.
Alice Walker
Propaganda is amazing, people can be led to believe anything.
Alice Walker
Humans - whatever billions we are - we don't have the control. We are considered expendable, basically.
Alice Walker
We alone can devalue gold by not caring if it falls or rises in the marketplace. Wherever there is gold there is a chain, you know, and if your chain is gold so much the worse for you.
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
I just really love people a lot. I really love them.
Alice Walker
My activism really is for myself, because I see places in the world where I feel I should be. If there is something really bad, really evil, happening somewhere, then that is where I should be. I need, for myself, to feel that I have stood there. It feels a lot better than just watching it on television.
Alice Walker
No matter how hidden the cruelty, no matter how far off the screams of pain and terror, we live in one world. We are one people.
Alice Walker
Well, I think indigenous peoples have ways of living on the Earth that they've had forever. And they've been overrun by organized religion, which has had a lot of money and power.
Alice Walker
Ignorance, arrogance, and racism have bloomed as Superior Knowledge in all too many universities.
Alice Walker
We must, I believe, start teaching our children the sanity of nonviolence much earlier.
Alice Walker
Israel is guilty of apartheid and persecution of the Palestinian people, both inside Israel and also in the Occupied Territories.
Alice Walker
So the best thing is to really work on yourself and opening your own heart and just letting all that stuff [worrying] go. And it is possible. It's sometimes takes a lot of time it's not easy. And a lot of sitting with yourself and trying to work with your own heart.
Alice Walker
The infinite faith I have in people's ability to understand anything that makes sense has always been justified, finally, by their behavior.
Alice Walker
In the far upper corner of my altar is a photo of Joan Crawford in her most fierce Mommy Dearest mode, just to remind me of some of the cost of everyone's hard-earned sweetness and light.
Alice Walker
