More quotes by Alice Walker
I have fallen in love with the imagination. And if you fall in love with the imagination, you understand that it is a free spirit. It will go anywhere, and it can do anything.
Alice Walker
A burnt finger remember the fire.
Alice Walker
My work is about my life, and what I want to do with it.
Alice Walker
Abortion is an act of self-defense.
Alice Walker
Those in power must spend a lot of their time laughing at us.
Alice Walker
Our mothers and grandmothers ... moving to music not yet written.
Alice Walker
You're not here just to be a clone. You're not here to be a copy. We have enough of those. You don't have to apply. You don't even have to go there to be absolutely yourself - real, here, now, on this planet.
Alice Walker
Just be what it is that you are, and that is just fine. You don't have to be what you're not in any way. Live that and live that fully, and that is where you discover ecstasy. You can't really have ecstasy as something other than yourself
Alice Walker
America is not nearly done. We're only in the beginning. Who knows who we will be? Who knows... what color we will be? It is all something that, maybe, our descendants - if they survive that long - will see.
Alice Walker
I write not only what I want to read...I write all the things I should have been able to read.
Alice Walker
A writer's heart, a poet's heart, an artist's heart, a musician's heart is always breaking. It is through that broken window that we see the world.
Alice Walker
How we come into this world, how we are ushered in, met, and hopefully embraced upon arrival, impacts the whole of our time on earth.
Alice Walker
HELPED are those who laugh with a pure heart theirs will be the company of the jolly righteous.
Alice Walker
Expecting anything, living frugally in surprise.
Alice Walker
I love us so incredibly, insanely deeply it's almost unbearable to see what we do to ourselves.
Alice Walker
We writers - we're the snowflakes of the literary world. We each have our own shape.
Alice Walker
I find it difficult to feel responsible for the suffering of others. That's why I find war so hard to bear. It's the same with animals: I feel the less harm I do, the lighter my heart. I love a light heart. And when I know I'm causing suffering, I feel the heaviness of it. It's a physical pain. So it's self-interest that I don't want to cause harm.
Alice Walker
The protection of evil must be the most self-destructive job.
Alice Walker
Never be the only one, except, possibly, in your own home.
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
