Alice Walker
Those in power must spend a lot of their time laughing at us.
Alice Walker
And so our mothers and grandmothers have, more often than not anonymously, handed on the creative spark, the seed of the flower they themselves never hoped to see - or like a sealed letter they could not plainly read.

Sexuality is one of the ways that we become enlightened, actually, because it leads us to self-knowledge.
Alice Walker
In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they're still beautiful.

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
Resist the temptation to think what afflicts you is peculiar to you. Have faith that what is in your consciousness can be communicated to the consciousness of all. And is, in many cases, already there.
Alice Walker
I have fought and kicked and fasted and prayed and cursed and cried myself to the point of existing.
Alice Walker
HELPED are those who love all the colors of all the human beings, as they love all the colors of the animals and plants none of their children, nor any of their ancestors, nor any parts of themselves, shall be hidden from them.
Alice Walker
I almost never do anything for Black History Month, because I feel it's just another way to separate us.
Alice Walker
She say, Celie, tell the truth, have you ever found God in church? I never did. I just found a bunch of folks hoping for him to show.
Alice Walker
Sometimes, reading a blog, which I do infrequently, I see that generations of Americans have been wilfully crippled, and can no longer spell or write a sentence.
Alice Walker
It no longer bothers me that I may be constantly searching for father figures by this time, I have found several and dearly enjoyed knowing them all.
Alice Walker
War contributes greatly to global warming, which shouldn't surprise us. All those bombs going off, all those rockets, all those planes and helicopters. All that fuel of various kinds being used. It pollutes the air and water of this very fragile and interconnected planet.
Alice Walker
Yoga means to bind back, unite. To bring the body and the soul together. For this reason the practice of yoga is a holy endeavor and the teaching of it to our people a very high calling.
Alice Walker
You can love yourself spiritually, physically-in almost any way that anybody else can.
Alice Walker
