More quotes by 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
HELPED are those whose ever act is a prayer for harmony in the Universe, for they are the restorers of balance to our planet. To them will be given the insight that every good act done anywhere in the cosmos welcomes the life of an animal or a child.
Alice Walker
Activism is my rent for living on the planet.
Alice Walker
What gardening teaches us is that if you plant things, they'll come up. But you have to be willing to wait for them to bear fruit because things are seasonal.
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
HELPED are those who laugh with a pure heart theirs will be the company of the jolly righteous.

Alice Walker
In South Korea, they believe that when you turn 60, you've become a baby again and the rest of your life should be totally about joy and happiness, and people should leave you alone, and I just think that that's the height of intelligence.
Alice Walker
People will say to you, Oh, you are fearless. That is so not true. We should stop saying that about people. It's a slander, really.
Alice Walker

Alice Walker
Women have to summon courage to fulfill dormant dreams.
Alice Walker
I can be almost terminally grief-stricken because things are so dire, but at the same, there's a real lightheartednes s about just the recoverability of life, of how things change, how they're not the same, ever again.
Alice Walker
It must become a right of every person to die of old age. And if we secure this right for ourselves, we can, coincidentally, assure it for the planet.
Alice Walker
In each of us, there is a little voice that knows exactly which way to go. And I learned very early to listen to it, even though it has caused so much grief and havoc, and I think that is the only answer.
Alice Walker
My ancestors make up the skin of the world. That's who that is. That's what that is. That's us.
Alice Walker
The experience of God, or in any case the possibility of experiencing God, is innate.
Alice Walker
We alone can devalue gold by not caring if it falls or rises in the marketplace. Wherever there is gold there is a chain, you know, and if your chain is gold so much the worse for you.
Alice Walker
Abortion is an act of self-defense.
Alice Walker
There are those who believe Black people possess the secret of joy and that it is this that will sustain them through any spiritual or moral or physical devastation.
