More quotes by Alice Walker
Helped are those who forgive their reward shall be forgetfulness of every evil done to them. It will be in their power, therefore, to envision the new Earth. -----“The Gospel According to Shug
Alice Walker
The forest is the first cathedral. I felt that from the time I was a child. I credit my mother with that. I used to think it came from her Native-American side. Whichever it was, she instinctively connected with nature, and taught me that.
Alice Walker
She was so quiet. So reflective. And she could erase herself, her spirit, with a swiftness that truly startled, when she knew the people around her could not respect it.
Alice Walker
Whoever you are, whatever you are, start with that, whether salt of the earth or only white sugar.
Alice Walker
There's an ecstatic side to writing. It's like jazz. It just has a life.
Alice Walker
I see children, all children, as humanity's most precious resource, because it will be to them that the care of the planet will always be left.
Alice Walker
People who work hard often work too hard. ... May we learn to honor the hammock, the siesta, the nap and the pause in all its forms.
Alice Walker
My writing is very organic. It's what I am. My mother says I was writing before I was crawling. I wrote in the dirt with a twig. So I think of it as something that's very essential to my being.
Alice Walker
Part of what confuses people in times of upheaval is that you're getting so many different points of view and directions and so and so, how to do this and do that. And a lot of it is written in a language that honestly most people cannot understand.
Alice Walker
Guided by my heritage of a love of beauty and a respect for strength - in search of my mother's garden, I found my own.
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 sight of a Black nun strikes their sentimentality and, as I am unalterably rooted in native ground, they consider me a work of primitive art, housed in a magical color the incarnation of civilized, anti-heathenism, and the fruit of a triumphing idea.
Alice Walker
But I don't know how to fight. All I know how to do is stay alive.
Alice Walker
People will say to you, Oh, you are fearless. That is so not true. We should stop saying that about people. It's a slander, really.
Alice Walker
How simple a thing it seems to me that to know ourselves as we are, we must know our mothers names.
Alice Walker
I think the foundation of everything in my life is wonder.
Alice Walker
What I've seen from keeping in touch as well as I can is that what I find so typical in Mexican culture is the helpfulness of the people to each other. I think, at this point, that is the highest good and the highest we can hope for - which is to be of help and use to each other wherever we are.
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
America is not nearly done. We're only in the beginning. Who knows who we will be? Who knows... what color we will be? It is all something that, maybe, our descendants - if they survive that long - will see.
Alice Walker
I'm not being disrespectful of the medium it's just not as important as the work that I actually do [books].
