More quotes by Alice Walker
Expect nothing. Live frugally on surprise.
Alice Walker
I am an elder, and I am delighted to be an elder. I would like to exhibit [and] explore it more - what an elder could mean in this time. But, I'd like to show that elders are good for us - that they can be good for us.
Alice Walker
I think the War on Terror is really absurd, especially coming from a country that is founded on terrorism.
Alice Walker
My big complaint with myself is that I get tired. But, I forgive myself because it's human to get tired. But, I didn't always feel like I could forgive myself. There's a certain [drive], I think. But, now I feel like, OK, you can be tired. People should let you be tired. Then you should go and take a nap, and you should sleep. That's about it.
Alice Walker
I almost never do anything for Black History Month, because I feel it's just another way to separate us.
Alice Walker
My God is not a religious God. My God is nature, my God is everything there is. That's God. Everything is God. I'm a child of that.
Alice Walker
Animals were not made for us, or our use. They have their own use, which is just being who they are.
Alice Walker
We must, I believe, start teaching our children the sanity of nonviolence much earlier.
Alice Walker
I'm sure we, the American people, are the butt of jokes by those in power.
Alice Walker
People are called 'stars' not only because they shine... because the qualities they exemplify are... eternal. We are attracted to their sparkle, their warmth, their light, but they will be forever distant from us. So distant we can never quite believe our inseparability. Never quite believe that we are also composed of the light they have.
Alice Walker
Love is big love can hold anger, love can even hold hatred. It's about the intention of what you want it to do.
Alice Walker
War will stop when we no longer praise it, or give it any attention at all. Peace will come wherever it is sincerely invited.
Alice Walker
You seem so clear about who you are. So certain that you are just right as you are, that for all your intelligence and maybe in spite of it, you never seem to need a second opinion.
Alice Walker
I am not lesbian, I am not bisexual, I am not straight. I am just curious
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
I continue to care for President Obama and for his family. I think that in many ways they are very courageous people, and I honor that, because I know what it means to live as a black person in a racist America.
Alice Walker
Human compassion is equal to human cruelty, and it is up to each of us to tip the balance.
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
It no longer bothers me that I may be constantly searching for father figures by this time, I have found several and dearly enjoyed knowing them all.
Alice Walker
The gift of loneliness is sometimes a radical vision of society or one's people that has not previously been taken into account.
