More quotes by 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
I could never live happily in Africa-or anywhere else-until I could live freely in Mississippi.
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
Always with me was the inner twin: my true nature, my true self. It is timeless, free, compassionate and in love with whatever is natural to me
Alice Walker
Animals were not made for us, or our use. They have their own use, which is just being who they are.
Alice Walker
I have fought and kicked and fasted and prayed and cursed and cried myself to the point of existing.
Alice Walker
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
I feel very happy to be living in Berkeley because there are a lot of people who are politically active here.
Alice Walker
The artist...is the voice of the people.
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
People tend to think that life really does progress for everyone eventually, that people progress, but actually only some people progress. The rest of the people don't.
Alice Walker
Abortion is an act of self-defense.
Alice Walker
HELPED are those whose every act is a prayer for peace on them depends the future of the world.
Alice Walker
It is healthier, in any case, to write for the adults one's children will become than for the children one's 'mature' critics often are.
Alice Walker
After all, how can a society flourish, a country attain democracy and health, children grow into intelligent beings, sensitive to the needs of an ever more fragile and endangered planet, if half it's people are kept out of the driver's seat?
Alice Walker
I have fallen in love with the imagination. And if you fall in love with the imagination, you understand that it is a free spirit. It will go anywhere, and it can do anything.
Alice Walker
It's so important to unclutter the mind. For me, creativity is greatly impeded just by the chatter and visual clutter of life. It's really important to have a space that is really clear for whatever is emerging to come.
Alice Walker
I think if I could not get myself off my cushion, off my couch, or away from whatever I'm eating - or drinking or partying or whatever - if I couldn't get away from that, I would have a heavy heart.
Alice Walker
Horses make a landscape look beautiful.
Alice Walker
We should learn to accept that change is truly the only thing that's going on always, and learn to ride with it and enjoy it.
Alice Walker
