Alice Walker
The earth is wise. It has given itself into the keeping of all, and all are therefore accountable.
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 love the natural world - it comes from my culture, which grew out of a people enslaved.
Alice Walker
I want something else a different system entirely. One not seen on this earth for thousands of years. If ever. Democratic Womanism. Notice how this word has man right in the middle of it? That's one reason I like it. He is right there, front and center. But he is surrounded. I want to vote and work for a way of life that honors the feminine.
Alice Walker
In order to be able to live at all in America I must be unafraid to live anywhere in it, and I must be able to live in the fashion and with whom I choose.
Alice Walker
Politically, the world is so confused right now - there's so much suffering caused by various movements by various parties and people in power in government.
Alice Walker

Alice Walker
