The experience of God, or in any case the possibility of experiencing God, is innate.
Alice Walker
Image
Love is big love can hold anger, love can even hold hatred. It's about the intention of what you want it to do.
Alice Walker
Image
Animals were not made for us, or our use. They have their own use, which is just being who they are.
Alice Walker
Image
HELPED are those who love the entire cosmos rather than their own tiny country, city, or farm, for to them will be shown the unbroken web of life and the meaning of infinity.
Alice Walker
Image
Resist the temptation to think what afflicts you is peculiar to you. Have faith that what is in your consciousness can be communicated to the consciousness of all. And is, in many cases, already there.
Alice Walker
Image
As an elder of the Americas and of the rest of the planet, it is my responsibility to care for and protect, to the best of my ability, the young.

Image
But if by some miracle and all our struggle, the earth is spared, only justice to every living being will save humankind.
Alice Walker
Image
People are called 'stars' not only because they shine... because the qualities they exemplify are... eternal. We are attracted to their sparkle, their warmth, their light, but they will be forever distant from us. So distant we can never quite believe our inseparability. Never quite believe that we are also composed of the light they have.
Alice Walker
Image
I've found, in my own writing, that a little hatred, keenly directed, is a useful thing.
Alice Walker
Image
I'm not being disrespectful of the medium it's just not as important as the work that I actually do [books].
Alice Walker
Image
I think the War on Terror is really absurd, especially coming from a country that is founded on terrorism.
Alice Walker
Image
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
Image
Yes, Mother. I can see you are flawed. You have not hidden it. That is your greatest gift to me.
Alice Walker
Image
In my opinion and experience, imperialists of all nations and races will tell us anything to keep us fighting. For them.
Alice Walker
Image
no person is your friend (or kin) who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow and be perceived as fully blossomed as you were intended. Or who belittles in any fashion the gifts you labor so to bring into the world.
Alice Walker
Image
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
Image
When you are active, and you must know this so well, that the more you are active, the more you see, the more you go to see. You know, you are curious. One thing leads to another thing, and it gets deeper and deeper, too. And there's no end to it.

Writing about people helps us to understand them, and understanding them helps us to accept them as part of ourselves.
