Alice Walker

Alice Walker

Alice Walker
I realized I was a country person - I'm just not used to small spaces.
Alice Walker

Alice Walker
I am not interested in being a role model, or in fulfilling the expectations of others. I know I am of most use to others and to myself by being this unique self: Nature, I have noticed, is not particularly devoted to copies, and human beings needn't be either.
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
Language is an intrinsic part of who we are and what has, for good or evil, happened to us.
Alice Walker
