More quotes by Alice Walker
I know what I'm thinking bout, I think. Nothing. And as much of it as I can.
Alice Walker
I think that wealthy white people would like to have a country that resembles the Fifties, when all the minorities were tucked away in ghettos and paid in very low wages but on the surface it was very bright and shiny and free and the rest of the world would look on it longingly.
Alice Walker
Whenever you are creating beauty around you, you are restoring your own soul.
Alice Walker
Some people don't understand that it is the nature of the eye to have seen forever, and the nature of the mind to recall anything that was ever known.
Alice Walker
I think America has always been polarized... It's a racist country and it has always been.
Alice Walker
What you hope for, you also fear.
Alice Walker
During my years of being close to people engaged in changing the world I have seen fear turn into courage. Sorrow into joy. Funerals into celebration. Because whatever the consequences, people, standing side by side, have expressed who they really are, and that ultimately they believe in the love of the world and each other enough to be that.
Alice Walker
Womanist is to feminist as purple is to lavender.
Alice Walker
Criticism is painful when it's not done with love.
Alice Walker
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
A writer's heart, a poet's heart, an artist's heart, a musician's heart is always breaking. It is through that broken window that we see the world.
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
In our particular society, it is the narrowed and narrowing view of life that often wins.
Alice Walker
I started writing as a child. But I didn't think of myself, actually writing until I was in college. And I had gone to Africa as a sophomore or something, no maybe junior and wrote a book of poems. And that was my beginning. I published that book.
Alice Walker
The gift of loneliness is sometimes a radical vision of society or one's people that has not previously been taken into account.
Alice Walker
Anything that forces you to act at the possible harm of your own existence is going to exact a cost. You have to then think about, Can I pay this? What will this mean to me - to my relationships, to my family, to everybody? What is this going to take? How much of me is this going to take?
Alice Walker
I don't call myself a Buddhist. I'm a free spirit. I believe I'm here on earth to admire and enjoy it that's my religion.
Alice Walker
Fiction is such a world of freedom, it's wonderful. If you want someone to fly, they can fly.
Alice Walker
Never be the only one, except, possibly, in your own home.
Alice Walker
I find it difficult to feel responsible for the suffering of others. That's why I find war so hard to bear. It's the same with animals: I feel the less harm I do, the lighter my heart. I love a light heart. And when I know I'm causing suffering, I feel the heaviness of it. It's a physical pain. So it's self-interest that I don't want to cause harm.
Alice Walker
