More quotes by Alice Walker
I feel I am a child that's lost its mother. I feel like a calf whose mother has gone off to slaughter.
Alice Walker
I think the War on Terror is really absurd, especially coming from a country that is founded on terrorism.
Alice Walker
Helped are those who are content to be themselves they will never lack mystery in their lives and the joys of self-discovery will be constant.
Alice Walker
My heart hurt so much I can't believe it. How can it keep beating, feeling like this?
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
Deliver me from writers who say the way they live doesn't matter. I'm not sure a bad person can write a good book, If art doesn't make us better, then what on earth is it for.
Alice Walker
Progress' affects few. Only revolution can affect many.
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
... my mother adorned with flowers whatever shabby house we were forced to live in.
Alice Walker
As you know from school, it's when you have not prepared for the test that you have the fear of failing. And if you have prepared, even if you fail, you've done your best.
Alice Walker
When people become elders - when they're older they can be old without being an elder, really. They [can] just be old and not very useful.
Alice Walker
Just be what it is that you are, and that is just fine. You don't have to be what you're not in any way. Live that and live that fully, and that is where you discover ecstasy. You can't really have ecstasy as something other than yourself
Alice Walker
I have fallen in love with the imagination. And if you fall in love with the imagination, you understand that it is a free spirit. It will go anywhere, and it can do anything.
Alice Walker
You got to fight them, Celie, she say. I can't do it for you. You got to fight them for yourself. I don't say nothing. I think bout Nettie, dead. She fight, she run away. What good it do? I don't fight, I stay where I'm told. But I'm alive.
Alice Walker
My parents taught me service - not by saying, but by doing. That was my culture, the culture of my family.
Alice Walker
It's better to have your blackness taken away than to stand there and lie about who you actually are. That's the trap.
Alice Walker
We will be ourselves and free, or die in the attempt. Harriet Tubman was not our great-grandmother for nothing.
Alice Walker
For a long time, I thought I was ugly and disfigured. This made me shy and timid, and I often reacted to insults that were not intended.
Alice Walker
HELPED are those who love the entire cosmos rather than their own tiny country, city, or farm, for to them will be shown the unbroken web of life and the meaning of infinity.
Alice Walker
I don't require myself or anyone to go beyond what they feel they can do. I just do suggest - for their own eventual happiness - that they go as far as they can. They can usually go much further than they think.
Alice Walker
