More quotes by 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
Animals were not made for us, or our use. They have their own use, which is just being who they are.
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
You have to steal back yourself. You have to steal back your own mind. Meditation helps in that area.
Alice Walker
My writing is very organic. It's what I am. My mother says I was writing before I was crawling. I wrote in the dirt with a twig. So I think of it as something that's very essential to my being.
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
Not everyone's life is what they make it. Some people's life is what other people make it.
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
I'm always amazed that people will actually choose to sit in front of the television and just be savaged by stuff that belittles their intelligence.
Alice Walker
You can love yourself spiritually, physically-in almost any way that anybody else can.
Alice Walker
Our mothers and grandmothers ... moving to music not yet written.
Alice Walker
I want something else a different system entirely. One not seen on this earth for thousands of years. If ever. Democratic Womanism. Notice how this word has man right in the middle of it? That's one reason I like it. He is right there, front and center. But he is surrounded. I want to vote and work for a way of life that honors the feminine.
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
Even now, I find that no matter what has happened, I still have that trust. I have a lot of trust, that people can be better than they are.
Alice Walker
My ancestors make up the skin of the world. That's who that is. That's what that is. That's us.
Alice Walker
There is always a moment in any kind of struggle when one feels in full bloom. Vivid. Alive. One might be blown to bits in such a moment and still be at peace.
Alice Walker
As we talked of freedom and justice one day for all, we sat down to steaks. I am eating misery, I thought, as I took the first bite. And spit it out.
Alice Walker
For me, writing has always come out of living a fairly to-the-bone kind of life, just really being present to a lot of life. The writing has been really a byproduct of that.
Alice Walker
We must, I believe, start teaching our children the sanity of nonviolence much earlier.
Alice Walker
I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it. People think pleasing God is all God cares about. But any fool living in the world can see it always trying to please us back.
