More quotes by Alice Walker

Alice Walker
So the best thing is to really work on yourself and opening your own heart and just letting all that stuff [worrying] go. And it is possible. It's sometimes takes a lot of time it's not easy. And a lot of sitting with yourself and trying to work with your own heart.
Alice Walker

Alice Walker
But I don't know how to fight. All I know how to do is stay alive.
Alice Walker
Wherever I have knocked, a door has opened. Wherever I have wandered, a path has appeared.
Alice Walker
I'm the most stubborn person I know.
Alice Walker
Women have to summon courage to fulfill dormant dreams.
Alice Walker
HELPED are those who laugh with a pure heart theirs will be the company of the jolly righteous.
