More quotes by Alice Walker
Expect nothing. Live frugally on surprise.
Alice Walker
I think there is a sense of being forced at this time to look at America's really large shadow and that's not all that bad.
Alice Walker
Clearly older women and especially older women who have led an active life or elder women who successfully maneuver through their own family life have so much to teach us about sharing, patience, and wisdom.
Alice Walker
Anything we love can be saved.
Alice Walker
And so our mothers and grandmothers have, more often than not anonymously, handed on the creative spark, the seed of the flower they themselves never hoped to see - or like a sealed letter they could not plainly read.
Alice Walker
She was so quiet. So reflective. And she could erase herself, her spirit, with a swiftness that truly startled, when she knew the people around her could not respect it.
Alice Walker
If I could live as a tree, as a river, as the moon, as the sun, as a star, as the earth, as a rock, I would. ...Writing permits me to experience life as any number of strange creations.
Alice Walker
Human beings may well be unable to break free of the dictatorship of greed that spreads like a miasma over the world, but no longer will we be an inarticulate and ignorant humanity, confused by our enslavement to superior cruelty and weaponry.
Alice Walker
I'm the kind of woman that likes to enjoy herselves in peace.
Alice Walker
You know a little drink now and then never hurt nobody, but when you can't git started without asking the bottle, you in trouble.
Alice Walker
I have never felt that the one thing that I am 'known for' is what I am.
Alice Walker
My parents taught me service - not by saying, but by doing. That was my culture, the culture of my family.
Alice Walker
Sometimes, reading a blog, which I do infrequently, I see that generations of Americans have been wilfully crippled, and can no longer spell or write a sentence.
Alice Walker
Everything wanna be loved. Us sing and dance, and holla just wanting to be loved.
Alice Walker
As we talked of freedom and justice one day for all, we sat down to steaks. I am eating misery, I thought, as I took the first bite. And spit it out.
Alice Walker
I don't focus on criticism. I prefer to praise people and the world, rather than criticize them and it.
Alice Walker
I'm entirely interested in people, and also other creatures and beings, but especially in people, and I tend to read them by emotional field more than anything. So I have a special interest in what they're thinking and who they are and who's hiding behind those eyes and how did he get there, and what's the story, really?
Alice Walker
I feel like to be where you need to be - where you know you need to be - is such a high. What could be better?
Alice Walker
I started out as a poet. I've always been a poet since I was 7 or 8. And so I feel myself to be fundamentally a poet who got into writing novels.
Alice Walker
At one point I learned transcendental meditation. This was 30-something years ago. It took me back to the way that I naturally was as a child growing up way in the country, rarely seeing people. I was in that state of oneness with creation and it was as if I didn't exist except as a part of everything.
Alice Walker
