Alice Walker
Many people are aware that we are in peril and that there is no trustworthy leadership.
Alice Walker

Alice Walker

Alice Walker
Freedom, after all, is like love: the more you give to others, the more you have.
Alice Walker
Peace will come wherever it is sincerely invited.
Alice Walker
Only dead people need loud music, you know.
Alice Walker
In order to be able to live at all in America I must be unafraid to live anywhere in it, and I must be able to live in the fashion and with whom I choose.
Alice Walker
Just because I don't harass it like some peoples us know don't mean I ain't got religion.
Alice Walker
It's better to have your blackness taken away than to stand there and lie about who you actually are. That's the trap.
Alice Walker
I realized I was a country person - I'm just not used to small spaces.
Alice Walker
I'm where I need to be, so my heart is light. Whatever happens, I know - I mean, I feel - that this is absolutely where I should be and I've lived up to my own expectations.
Alice Walker
