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
Like I said...fine with me.
Alice Walker
The infinite faith I have in people's ability to understand anything that makes sense has always been justified, finally, by their behavior.
Alice Walker
How we come into this world, how we are ushered in, met, and hopefully embraced upon arrival, impacts the whole of our time on earth.
