Alice Walker
Image
The Congo is really beautiful. People correct me and say, Oh, you mean the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Well, fine. But, the land there, the landscape is extraordinary. It's big lakes and beautiful hills and trees.

Expect nothing. Live frugally on surprise.
Alice Walker
Image
The good news may be that Nature is phasing out the white man, but the bad news is that's who She thinks we all are.
Alice Walker
Image
Every small positive change we make in ourselves repays us in confidence in the future.
Alice Walker
Image
And so our mothers and grandmothers have, more often than not anonymously, handed on the creative spark, the seed of the flower they themselves never hoped to see - or like a sealed letter they could not plainly read.
Alice Walker
Image
Love likes to extend itself. If you receive it in a book - or however you get it - then your duty is to extend it beyond.
