Alice Walker
You have to steal back yourself. You have to steal back your own mind. Meditation helps in that area.
Alice Walker
I am an elder, and I am delighted to be an elder. I would like to exhibit [and] explore it more - what an elder could mean in this time. But, I'd like to show that elders are good for us - that they can be good for us.

Alice Walker

Alice Walker
Sexuality is one of the ways that we become enlightened, actually, because it leads us to self-knowledge.
Alice Walker

Alice Walker
Tea to the English is really a picnic indoors.
Alice Walker
The Olinka girls do not believe girls should be educated. When I asked a mother why she thought this, she said: A girl is nothing to herself only to her husband can she become something. What can she become? I asked. Why, she said, the mother of his children. But I am not the mother of anybody's children, I said, and I am something.
Alice Walker

Alice Walker
The hardest part is when you're in danger yourself. You have to face what could happen and might be likely to happen to you. It's not just that you're there standing next to somebody that something bad is likely to happen to. That is a true moment of reckoning with who you really are.
Alice Walker
