Freedom, after all, is like love: the more you give to others, the more you have.
Alice Walker
Curiosity is my natural state and has led me headlong into every worthwhile experience (never mind the others) I have ever had.
Alice Walker

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

Alice Walker
You must learn to love only that which cannot be stolen.
Alice Walker
Healing begins where the wound was made.
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

Alice Walker
A grown child is a dangerous thing.
Alice Walker
Laughter isn't even the other side of tears. It is tears turned inside out. Truly the suffering is great, here on earth. We blunder along, shredded by our mistakes, bludgeoned by our faults. Not having a clue where the dark path leads us. But on the whole, we stumble along bravely, don't you think?
Alice Walker
'Thank you' is the best prayer that anyone could say.
