One thing that never ceases to amaze me, along with the growth of vegetation from the earth and of hair from the head, is the growth of understanding.
Alice Walker
I could never live happily in Africa-or anywhere else-until I could live freely in Mississippi.
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
I'm mad about the waste that happens when people who love each other can't even bring themselves to talk.
Alice Walker
God is inside you and inside everybody else. You come into the world with God. But only them that search for it inside find it. And sometimes it just manifest itself even if you not looking, or don't know what you looking for. Trouble do it for most folks, I think. ... Yeah, It. God ain't a he or a she, but a It.
Alice Walker
Writing saved me from the sin and inconvenience of violence.
Alice Walker
Whenever I have knocked, a door has opened. Wherever I have wandered, a path has appeared. I have been helped, supported, encouraged and nurtured by people of all races, creeds, colors and dreams.
Alice Walker
Many people are aware that we are in peril and that there is no trustworthy leadership.
Alice Walker

Alice Walker
I realized I was a country person - I'm just not used to small spaces.
Alice Walker
I am not interested in being a role model, or in fulfilling the expectations of others. I know I am of most use to others and to myself by being this unique self: Nature, I have noticed, is not particularly devoted to copies, and human beings needn't be either.
Alice Walker
We should learn to accept that change is truly the only thing that's going on always, and learn to ride with it and enjoy it.
Alice Walker
Freedom, after all, is like love: the more you give to others, the more you have.
Alice Walker
The world is changing. It is no longer a world just for boys and men
Alice Walker
It's essential that we understand that taking care of the planet will be done as we take care of ourselves. You know that you can't really make much of a difference in things until you change yourself.
Alice Walker
At one point I learned transcendental meditation. This was 30-something years ago. It took me back to the way that I naturally was as a child growing up way in the country, rarely seeing people. I was in that state of oneness with creation and it was as if I didn't exist except as a part of everything.
Alice Walker
The original crime of niggers and lesbians is that they prefer themselves.
Alice Walker
Creation is a sustained period of bliss, even though the subject can still be very sad. Because there's the triumph of coming through and understanding that you have, and that you did it the way only you could do it. You didn't do it the way somebody told you to do it. You did it just the way you had to do it, and that is what makes us us.
Alice Walker
You can just keep going and going and going, and you never get to the end of it because there is no end. The ending is a beginning. If you feel like that, then you accept that wherever you have to stop on this journey, you continue in some other form somewhere else.
Alice Walker
You don't need organized religion to connect with the universe. Often a church is the only place you can go to find peace and quiet... But it shouldn't be confused with connecting with one's spirit.
Alice Walker
