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.

More quotes by Alice Walker
I'm mad about the waste that happens when people who love each other can't even bring themselves to talk.
Alice Walker
How sad now never to see men holding hands, while everywhere one looks they are holding guns.
Alice Walker
If a person is hit hard enough, even if she stands, she falls.
Alice Walker
In a way, no matter who's in charge of the corporation that the United States is, the direction in which it is taken seems to be inexorable. So, you just get the job of being the front man for four or eight years. Now, most people realize that's what you are.
Alice Walker
All partisan movements add to the fullness of our understanding of society as a whole. They never detract or, in any case, one must not allow them to do so. Experience adds to experience.
Alice Walker
Be nobody's darling Be an outcast. Take the contradictions Of your life And wrap around You like a shawl, To parry stones To keep you warm.
Alice Walker
I'm for women choosing whatever they want to do but they have to really know what they are doing.
Alice Walker
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
My work is about my life, and what I want to do with it.
Alice Walker
Whoever you are, whatever you are, start with that, whether salt of the earth or only white sugar.
Alice Walker
I can spend two hours grubbing about in my garden, dazed with pleasure and intent, and it feels like five minutes.
Alice Walker
The Animals of the planet are in desperate peril and they are fully aware of this. No less than human beings are doing in all parts of the world, they are seeking sanctuary.
Alice Walker
It's so clear that you have to cherish everyone.
Alice Walker
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
Healing cannot be done by settling a score.
Alice Walker
I'm not convinced that women have the education or the sense of their own history enough or that they understand the cruelty of which men are capable and the delight that many men will take in seeing you choose to chain yourself - then they get to say 'See, you did it yourself.'
Alice Walker
Look closely at the present you are constructing: it should look like the future you are dreaming.
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
God is inside you and inside everybody else. You come into the world with God. But only them that search for it inside find it. And sometimes it just manifest itself even if you not looking, or don't know what you looking for. Trouble do it for most folks, I think. ... Yeah, It. God ain't a he or a she, but a It.
Alice Walker
Wish for nothing larger Than your own small heart.
