More quotes by Alice Walker
In my opinion and experience, imperialists of all nations and races will tell us anything to keep us fighting. For them.
Alice Walker
I think there is a sense of being forced at this time to look at America's really large shadow and that's not all that bad.
Alice Walker
I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it.
Alice Walker
To me war is something to be outgrown, recognized as immature, wasteful, and so destructive to life that human beings should shun it ... as they once shunned bubonic plague.
Alice Walker
Even as I hold you, I am letting you go.
Alice Walker
'Thank you' is the best prayer that anyone could say.
Alice Walker
You can't send me anywhere that I wouldn't be happy to go. You'd be surprised as to how that lightens the heart.
Alice Walker
I had assumed that the Earth, the spirit of the Earth, noticed exceptions-those who wantonly damage it and those who do not. But the Earth is wise. It has given itself into the keeping of all, and all are therefore accountable.
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
My mother had handed down respect for the possibilities...and the will to grasp them.
Alice Walker
I think writing really helps you heal yourself. I think if you write long enough, you will be a healthy person. That is, if you write what you need to write, as opposed to what will make money, or what will make fame.
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
How anyone cannot see that Nature is God is amazing to me: that they'd rather worship something that can only exist, really, in their own minds.
Alice Walker
Everything is already perfect. And if you can accept that everything is already perfect, the imperfection is a part of the perfection. What's to worry about?
Alice Walker
In each of us, there is a little voice that knows exactly which way to go. And I learned very early to listen to it, even though it has caused so much grief and havoc, and I think that is the only answer.
Alice Walker
Animals can communicate quite well. And they do. And generally speaking, they are ignored
Alice Walker
I'm mad about the waste that happens when people who love each other can't even bring themselves to talk.
Alice Walker
My activism really is for myself, because I see places in the world where I feel I should be. If there is something really bad, really evil, happening somewhere, then that is where I should be. I need, for myself, to feel that I have stood there. It feels a lot better than just watching it on television.
Alice Walker
Books became my world because the world I was in was very hard.
Alice Walker
I'm one in what I do and what I say and what I believe.
Alice Walker
