More quotes by Alice Walker
Yes, Mother. I can see you are flawed. You have not hidden it. That is your greatest gift to me.
Alice Walker
What I've seen from keeping in touch as well as I can is that what I find so typical in Mexican culture is the helpfulness of the people to each other. I think, at this point, that is the highest good and the highest we can hope for - which is to be of help and use to each other wherever we are.
Alice Walker
Well, capitalism is a big problem, because with capitalism you're just going to keep buying and selling things until there's nothing else to buy and sell, which means gobbling up the planet.
Alice Walker
A grown child is a dangerous thing.
Alice Walker
'Thank you' is the best prayer that anyone could say. I say that one a lot. Thank you expresses extreme gratitude, humility, understanding.
Alice Walker
We should learn to accept that change is truly the only thing that's going on always, and learn to ride with it and enjoy it.
Alice Walker
I feel like to be where you need to be - where you know you need to be - is such a high. What could be better?
Alice Walker
I'm the most stubborn person I know.
Alice Walker
I'm one in what I do and what I say and what I believe.
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
Ignorance, arrogance, and racism have bloomed as Superior Knowledge in all too many universities.
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
Surely the earth can be saved by all the people who insist on love.
Alice Walker
... my mother adorned with flowers whatever shabby house we were forced to live in.
Alice Walker
If you're silent for a long time, people just arrive in your mind.
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
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
To me war is something to be outgrown, recognized as immature, wasteful, and so destructive to life that human beings should shun it ... as they once shunned bubonic plague.
Alice Walker
Some people don't understand that it is the nature of the eye to have seen forever, and the nature of the mind to recall anything that was ever known.
Alice Walker
God is inside you and inside everybody else. You come into the world with God. But only them that search for it inside find it. And sometimes it just manifest itself even if you not looking, or don't know what you looking for. Trouble do it for most folks, I think. ... Yeah, It. God ain't a he or a she, but a It.
Alice Walker
