More quotes by Alice Walker
it is this broken road with pitfalls and sharp turns and unexpected traverses that has brought me joy and adventure.
Alice Walker
War is a dead end, literally. And, what is more, we simply can't afford it. Not morally, and not financially. How long will it take the citizens of the United States, one wonders, to recognize that the house their country bombed in Iraq is the same one they were living in until it was foreclosed?
Alice Walker
(a womanist) 3. Loves music. Loves dance. Loves the moon. Loves the Spirit. Loves love and food and roundness. Loves struggle. Loves the Folk. Loves herself. Regardless.
Alice Walker
Every small positive change we make in ourselves repays us in confidence in the future.
Alice Walker
This could be our revolution: to love what is plentiful as much as what's scarce.
Alice Walker
My heart hurt so much I can't believe it. How can it keep beating, feeling like this?
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
It is justice and respect that I want the world to dust off and put - without delay, and with tenderness - back on the head of the Palestinian child. It will be imperfect justice and respect because the injustice and disrespect have been so severe. But I believe we are right to try.
Alice Walker
In my opinion and experience, imperialists of all nations and races will tell us anything to keep us fighting. For them.
Alice Walker
The artist...is the voice of the people.
Alice Walker
In every life there comes a point when you have to make a decision about how you will live.
Alice Walker
Some colored people so scared of whitefolks they claim to love the cotton gin.
Alice Walker
The Olinka girls do not believe girls should be educated. When I asked a mother why she thought this, she said: A girl is nothing to herself only to her husband can she become something. What can she become? I asked. Why, she said, the mother of his children. But I am not the mother of anybody's children, I said, and I am something.
Alice Walker
I see children, all children, as humanity's most precious resource, because it will be to them that the care of the planet will always be left.
Alice Walker
I don’t need a certain number of friends, just a number of friends I can be certain of.
Alice Walker
I don't require myself or anyone to go beyond what they feel they can do. I just do suggest - for their own eventual happiness - that they go as far as they can. They can usually go much further than they think.
Alice Walker
Resistance is the secret of joy!
Alice Walker
Life is better than death, I believe, if only because it is less boring, and because it has fresh peaches in it.
Alice Walker
Animals can communicate quite well. And they do. And generally speaking, they are ignored
Alice Walker
Artists are messengers whose responsibility is to unite the world -- a faith that will lead not to destruction but to transformation.
Alice Walker
