The Animals of the planet are in desperate peril and they are fully aware of this. No less than human beings are doing in all parts of the world, they are seeking sanctuary.

More quotes by Alice Walker
Meditation is like the cloak of the good thief. You find a corner or somewhere where you can actually entertain your own self and your own soul, and understand what your work [is] here.
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
Artists are messengers whose responsibility is to unite the world -- a faith that will lead not to destruction but to transformation.
Alice Walker
Surely the earth can be saved by all the people who insist on love.
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
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
I'm for women choosing whatever they want to do but they have to really know what they are doing.
Alice Walker
People tend to think that life really does progress for everyone eventually, that people progress, but actually only some people progress. The rest of the people don't.
Alice Walker
It's almost unbelievable where we are as a planet because people have been so afraid of rocking the boat, of putting forth what they really believe, and standing with people who need to be stood with.
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
When people become elders - when they're older they can be old without being an elder, really. They [can] just be old and not very useful.
Alice Walker
It's so important to unclutter the mind. For me, creativity is greatly impeded just by the chatter and visual clutter of life. It's really important to have a space that is really clear for whatever is emerging to come.
Alice Walker
Humans - whatever billions we are - we don't have the control. We are considered expendable, basically.
Alice Walker
It has been proved that the land can exist without the country - and be better for it it has not been proved ... that the country can exist without the land.
Alice Walker
You know, one race will not be a survivor if the other one dies, and that's something that we should think about.
Alice Walker
Being happy is not the only happiness.
Alice Walker
Oh, Celie, unbelief is a terrible thing. And so is the hurt we cause others unknowingly.
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
My God is not a religious God. My God is nature, my God is everything there is. That's God. Everything is God. I'm a child of that.
Alice Walker
The sight of a Black nun strikes their sentimentality and, as I am unalterably rooted in native ground, they consider me a work of primitive art, housed in a magical color the incarnation of civilized, anti-heathenism, and the fruit of a triumphing idea.
Alice Walker
