More quotes by Alice Walker
Writing about people helps us to understand them, and understanding them helps us to accept them as part of ourselves.
Alice Walker
I just really love people a lot. I really love them.
Alice Walker
When life descends into the pit I must become my own candle Willingly burning my self To light up the darkness around me.
Alice Walker
I'm not convinced that women have the education or the sense of their own history enough or that they understand the cruelty of which men are capable and the delight that many men will take in seeing you choose to chain yourself - then they get to say 'See, you did it yourself.'
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
The quietly pacifist peaceful always die to make room for men who shout.
Alice Walker
I think the War on Terror is really absurd, especially coming from a country that is founded on terrorism.
Alice Walker
We are all substantially flawed, wounded, angry, hurt, here on Earth. But this human condition, so painful to us, and in someways shameful- because we feel we are weak when the reality of ourselves is exposed- is made much more bearable when it is shared, face to face, in words that have expressive human eyes behind them.
Alice Walker
This could be our revolution: to love what is plentiful as much as what's scarce.
Alice Walker
It's so important to unclutter the mind. For me, creativity is greatly impeded just by the chatter and visual clutter of life. It's really important to have a space that is really clear for whatever is emerging to come.
Alice Walker
A writer's heart, a poet's heart, an artist's heart, a musician's heart is always breaking. It is through that broken window that we see the world.
Alice Walker
The harm that you do to others is the harm that you do to yourself and you cannot think then that you can cause wars in other parts of the world and destroy people and drone them without this having a terrible impact on your own soul and your own consciousness.
Alice Walker
My great-great-great-grandmother walked as a slave from Virginia to Eatonton, Georgia... It is in memory of this walk that I chose to keep and to embrace my maiden name, Walker.
Alice Walker
People do not wish to appear foolish to avoid the appearance of foolishness, they are willing to remain actually fools.
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
Revolt is the mirror in which greed is forced to see itself.
Alice Walker
If art doesn't make us better, then what on earth is it for.
Alice Walker
Love likes to extend itself. If you receive it in a book - or however you get it - then your duty is to extend it beyond.
Alice Walker
Every soul is to be cherished, every flower is to bloom.
Alice Walker
If you want to have a life that is worth living, a life that expresses your deepest feelings and emotions, and cares and dreams, you have to fight for it.
Alice Walker
