More quotes by Alice Walker
Abortion, for many women, is more than an experience of suffering beyond anything most men will ever know, it is an act of mercy, and an act of self-defense.
Alice Walker
Not only will your teachers appear, but they will cook new foods for you.
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
Odinary people don't have a feeling of being loved by the people who manage to get into positions of leadership. They get in there, they make a lot of money, and then they play games with us.
Alice Walker
He beat me like he beat the children. Cept he don't never hardly beat them. He say, Celie, git the belt. The children be outside the room peeking through the cracks. It all I can do not to cry. I make myself wood. I say to myself, Celie, you a tree. That's how come I know trees fear man.

People do not wish to appear foolish to avoid the appearance of foolishness, they are willing to remain actually fools.
Alice Walker
There is always a moment in any kind of struggle when one feels in full bloom. Vivid. Alive. One might be blown to bits in such a moment and still be at peace.
Alice Walker
Be compassionate to everyone. Don't just search for whatever it is that annoys and frightens you-see beyond those things to the basic human being. Especially see the child in the man or woman. Even if they are destroying you, allow a moment to see how lost in their own delusion and suffering they are.
Alice Walker
A grown child is a dangerous thing.
Alice Walker
HELPED are those who are shown the existence of the Creator's magic in the Universe they shall experience delight and astonishment without ceasing.
Alice Walker
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
Oh, Celie, unbelief is a terrible thing. And so is the hurt we cause others unknowingly.
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
I'm pore, I'm black, I may be ugly and can't cook, a voice say to everything listening. But I'm here.
Alice Walker
The long-term accommodation that protects marriage and other such relationships is ... forgetfulness.
Alice Walker
I had assumed that the Earth, the spirit of the Earth, noticed exceptions-those who wantonly damage it and those who do not. But the Earth is wise. It has given itself into the keeping of all, and all are therefore accountable.
Alice Walker
