More quotes by 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
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
allowing freedom to others brings freedom to ourselves.
Alice Walker
Activism pays the rent on being alive and being here on the planet.
Alice Walker
My parents taught me service - not by saying, but by doing. That was my culture, the culture of my family.
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
Just be what it is that you are, and that is just fine. You don't have to be what you're not in any way. Live that and live that fully, and that is where you discover ecstasy. You can't really have ecstasy as something other than yourself
Alice Walker
I know, in my soul, that to eat a creature who is raised to be eaten, and who never has a chance to be a real being, is unhealthy. It's like...you're just eating misery. You're eating a bitter life.
Alice Walker
Anybody can observe the Sabbath, but making it holy surely takes the rest of the week.
Alice Walker
the world has changed: it did not change without your prayers without your faith without your determination to believe in liberation and kindness without your dancing through the years that had no beat.
Alice Walker
I don't know. I imagine good teaching as a circle of earnest people sitting down to ask each other meaningful questions. I don't see it as a handing down of answers.
Alice Walker
How anyone cannot see that Nature is God is amazing to me: that they'd rather worship something that can only exist, really, in their own minds.
Alice Walker
'Thank you' is the best prayer that anyone could say. I say that one a lot. Thank you expresses extreme gratitude, humility, understanding.
Alice Walker
You know a little drink now and then never hurt nobody, but when you can't git started without asking the bottle, you in trouble.
Alice Walker
A grown child is a dangerous thing.
Alice Walker
It didn't take long to realize I didn't hardly know nothing. And that if you ast yourself why you black or a man or a woman or a bush it don't mean nothing if you don't ast why you here, period
Alice Walker
Every time I conjure up a rock, I throw it.
Alice Walker
I feel like to be where you need to be - where you know you need to be - is such a high. What could be better?
Alice Walker
But if by some miracle and all our struggle, the earth is spared, only justice to every living being will save humankind.
Alice Walker
It's better to have your blackness taken away than to stand and lie about who you actually are.
Alice Walker
