More quotes by Alice Walker
If you're silent for a long time, people just arrive in your mind.
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
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
War is a dead end, literally. And, what is more, we simply can't afford it. Not morally, and not financially. How long will it take the citizens of the United States, one wonders, to recognize that the house their country bombed in Iraq is the same one they were living in until it was foreclosed?
Alice Walker
We have elders who [are] misguided and wallowing around in troughs of money with the wrong sort. They're not really good elders for the youth to emulate. The youth rightly don't like them.
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
Wherever I have knocked, a door has opened. Wherever I have wandered, a path has appeared.
Alice Walker
What the mind doesn't understand, it worships or fears.
Alice Walker
She say, Celie, tell the truth, have you ever found God in church? I never did. I just found a bunch of folks hoping for him to show.
Alice Walker
Listen, God loves everything you love, and a mess of stuff you don't.
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
My work is about my life, and what I want to do with it.
Alice Walker
The only way to solace anyone who loved you in life is to be a good memory
Alice Walker
Everything wanna be loved. Us sing and dance, and holla just wanting to be loved.
Alice Walker
Language is an intrinsic part of who we are and what has, for good or evil, happened to us.
Alice Walker
The artist...is the voice of the people.
Alice Walker
You can't truly have an open heart until it's been broken.
Alice Walker
The animals of the planet are in desperate peril... Without free animal life I believe we will lose the spiritual equivalent of oxygen.
Alice Walker
The good news may be that Nature is phasing out the white man, but the bad news is that's who She thinks we all are.
Alice Walker
HELPED are those who live in quietness, knowing neither brand name nor fad they shall live every day as if in eternity, and each moment shall be as full as it is long.
Alice Walker
