More quotes by Alice Walker
Human beings may well be unable to break free of the dictatorship of greed that spreads like a miasma over the world, but no longer will we be an inarticulate and ignorant humanity, confused by our enslavement to superior cruelty and weaponry.
Alice Walker
Creation is a sustained period of bliss, even though the subject can still be very sad. Because there's the triumph of coming through and understanding that you have, and that you did it the way only you could do it. You didn't do it the way somebody told you to do it. You did it just the way you had to do it, and that is what makes us us.
Alice Walker
The forest is the first cathedral. I felt that from the time I was a child. I credit my mother with that. I used to think it came from her Native-American side. Whichever it was, she instinctively connected with nature, and taught me that.
Alice Walker
People will say to you, Oh, you are fearless. That is so not true. We should stop saying that about people. It's a slander, really.
Alice Walker
When you are active, and you must know this so well, that the more you are active, the more you see, the more you go to see. You know, you are curious. One thing leads to another thing, and it gets deeper and deeper, too. And there's no end to it.
Alice Walker
Yes, Mother. I can see you are flawed. You have not hidden it. That is your greatest gift to me.
Alice Walker
It's an awful feeling to write something that you feel is really important... and to feel that you're being published by people who really don't get it and/or don't really care.
Alice Walker
Helped are those who forgive their reward shall be forgetfulness of every evil done to them. It will be in their power, therefore, to envision the new Earth. -----“The Gospel According to Shug
Alice Walker
Women have to summon courage to fulfill dormant dreams.
Alice Walker
Horses make a landscape look beautiful.
Alice Walker
Sometimes, reading a blog, which I do infrequently, I see that generations of Americans have been wilfully crippled, and can no longer spell or write a sentence.
Alice Walker
I can spend two hours grubbing about in my garden, dazed with pleasure and intent, and it feels like five minutes.
Alice Walker
I try to teach my heart not to want things it cant have.
Alice Walker
People tend to think that life really does progress for everyone eventually, that people progress, but actually only some people progress. The rest of the people don't.
Alice Walker
My parents taught me service - not by saying, but by doing. That was my culture, the culture of my family.
Alice Walker
In a way, no matter who's in charge of the corporation that the United States is, the direction in which it is taken seems to be inexorable. So, you just get the job of being the front man for four or eight years. Now, most people realize that's what you are.
Alice Walker
Surely the earth can be saved by all the people who insist on love.
Alice Walker
HELPED are those who laugh with a pure heart theirs will be the company of the jolly righteous.
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
As an elder of the Americas and of the rest of the planet, it is my responsibility to care for and protect, to the best of my ability, the young.
Alice Walker
