More quotes by Alice Walker
All History is current all injustice continues on some level, somewhere in the world.
Alice Walker
I can easily imagine Obama sitting down and talking to any leader - or any person - in the world, with no baggage of past servitude or race supremacy to mar their talks.
Alice Walker
(a womanist) 3. Loves music. Loves dance. Loves the moon. Loves the Spirit. Loves love and food and roundness. Loves struggle. Loves the Folk. Loves herself. Regardless.
Alice Walker
We must, I believe, start teaching our children the sanity of nonviolence much earlier.
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
In my work and in myself I reflect black people, women and men, as I reflect others. One day even the most self-protective ones will look into the mirror I provide and not be afraid.
Alice Walker
I almost never do anything for Black History Month, because I feel it's just another way to separate us.
Alice Walker
I think us here to wonder, myself. To wonder. To ask. And that in wondering bout the big things and asking bout the big things, you learn about the little ones, almost by accident. But you never know nothing more about the big things than you start out with. The more I wonder, the more I love.
Alice Walker
HELPED are those whose every act is a prayer for peace on them depends the future of the world.
Alice Walker
I think that indigenous women's wisdom is crucial. So much of the care of the Earth has come from the mothers. I think it's imperative we turn to their wisdom in how to take care of the planet.
Alice Walker
I just really love people a lot. I really love them.
Alice Walker
Activism is my rent for living on the planet.
Alice Walker
...have you ever found God in church? I never did. I just found a bunch of folks hoping for him to show. Any God I ever felt in church I brought in with me. And I think all the other folks did too. They come to church to share God, not find God.
Alice Walker
I know what I'm thinking bout, I think. Nothing. And as much of it as I can.
Alice Walker
Expect nothing. Live frugally on surprise.
Alice Walker
I grew up in the South [USA states] under segregation. I know what terrorism feels like - when your father could be taken out in the middle of the night and lynched just because he didn't look like he was in an obeying frame of mind when a white person said something he must do. That's terrorism, too.
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.
Alice Walker
War is a dead end, literally. And, what is more, we simply can't afford it. Not morally, and not financially. How long will it take the citizens of the United States, one wonders, to recognize that the house their country bombed in Iraq is the same one they were living in until it was foreclosed?
Alice Walker
I am not convinced that men and women were ever meant to share the same house, though some people can do it beautifully.
Alice Walker
Wherever I have knocked, a door has opened. Wherever I have wandered, a path has appeared.
Alice Walker
