More quotes by Alice Walker
If I'm killed - if I'm removed - there is nowhere else for me to go but to my ancestors.
Alice Walker
You can't send me anywhere that I wouldn't be happy to go. You'd be surprised as to how that lightens the heart.
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.
Alice Walker
Helped are those who forgive their reward shall be forgetfulness of every evil done to them. It will be in their power, therefore, to envision the new Earth. -----“The Gospel According to Shug
Alice Walker
I always have felt that elders are really important. I think it's because, in my little Southern black culture, elders really were respected. Everybody listened to them. They may not have agreed - that's a whole different story - but they would totally listen and consider what the elder had to say.
Alice Walker
I realized I was a country person - I'm just not used to small spaces.
Alice Walker
HELPED are those who love all the colors of all the human beings, as they love all the colors of the animals and plants none of their children, nor any of their ancestors, nor any parts of themselves, shall be hidden from them.
Alice Walker
The original crime of niggers and lesbians is that they prefer themselves.
Alice Walker
I think that indigenous women's wisdom is crucial. So much of the care of the Earth has come from the mothers. I think it's imperative we turn to their wisdom in how to take care of the planet.
Alice Walker
Animals were not made for us, or our use. They have their own use, which is just being who they are.
Alice Walker
It's better to have your blackness taken away than to stand and lie about who you actually are.
Alice Walker
To know is to exist to exist is to be involved, to move about, to see the world with my own eyes.
Alice Walker
My mother was very strong. Once, she picked up a coconut and smashed it against my father's head. It taught me about women defending themselves and not collapsing in a heap.
Alice Walker
She thought of how precious it was to be able to know another person over many years. There was incomparable richness in it.
Alice Walker
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
The only way to solace anyone who loved you in life is to be a good memory
Alice Walker
For a long time, I thought I was ugly and disfigured. This made me shy and timid, and I often reacted to insults that were not intended.
Alice Walker
I just like to have words that describe things correctly. Now to me, 'black feminist' does not do that. I need a word that is organic, that really comes out of the culture, that really expresses the spirit that we see in black women. And it's just... womanish.
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
Israel is guilty of apartheid and persecution of the Palestinian people, both inside Israel and also in the Occupied Territories.
