More quotes by Alice Walker
I'm where I need to be, so my heart is light. Whatever happens, I know - I mean, I feel - that this is absolutely where I should be and I've lived up to my own expectations.
Alice Walker
I have fought and kicked and fasted and prayed and cursed and cried myself to the point of existing.
Alice Walker
I think the War on Terror is really absurd, especially coming from a country that is founded on terrorism.
Alice Walker
My parents taught me service - not by saying, but by doing. That was my culture, the culture of my family.
Alice Walker
My ancestors make up the skin of the world. That's who that is. That's what that is. That's us.
Alice Walker
People do not wish to appear foolish to avoid the appearance of foolishness, they are willing to remain actually fools.
Alice Walker
It must become a right of every person to die of old age. And if we secure this right for ourselves, we can, coincidentally, assure it for the planet.
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
A grown child is a dangerous thing.
Alice Walker
When people become elders - when they're older they can be old without being an elder, really. They [can] just be old and not very useful.
Alice Walker
God is different to us now, after all these years in Africa. More spirit than ever before, and more internal. Most people think he has to look like something or someone- a roofleaf or Christ- but we don't. And not being tied to what God looks like, frees us.
Alice Walker
Stretching [and] yoga [are] very helpful. All of these things - they really do help. Good food and a lot of sleep. And reading - reading good books. Sometimes movies - although a lot of the movies are difficult.
Alice Walker
I could never live happily in Africa-or anywhere else-until I could live freely in Mississippi.
Alice Walker
The Congo is really beautiful. People correct me and say, Oh, you mean the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Well, fine. But, the land there, the landscape is extraordinary. It's big lakes and beautiful hills and trees.
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
Even as I hold you, I am letting you go.
Alice Walker
You don't really stay attached to things. Life goes on, so you don't really sit around and think about how they are relevant to other people. You hope that whatever you create will be [relevant].
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 feel I am a child that's lost its mother. I feel like a calf whose mother has gone off to slaughter.
Alice Walker
You seem so clear about who you are. So certain that you are just right as you are, that for all your intelligence and maybe in spite of it, you never seem to need a second opinion.
Alice Walker
