More quotes by Alice Walker
Be compassionate to everyone. Don't just search for whatever it is that annoys and frightens you-see beyond those things to the basic human being. Especially see the child in the man or woman. Even if they are destroying you, allow a moment to see how lost in their own delusion and suffering they are.
Alice Walker

Alice Walker
The earth is wise. It has given itself into the keeping of all, and all are therefore accountable.
Alice Walker
I know what I'm thinking bout, I think. Nothing. And as much of it as I can.
Alice Walker
War contributes greatly to global warming, which shouldn't surprise us. All those bombs going off, all those rockets, all those planes and helicopters. All that fuel of various kinds being used. It pollutes the air and water of this very fragile and interconnected planet.
Alice Walker
Not everyone's life is what they make it. Some people's life is what other people make it.
Alice Walker
Wish for nothing larger Than your own small heart.
Alice Walker
I always have felt that elders are really important. I think it's because, in my little Southern black culture, elders really were respected. Everybody listened to them. They may not have agreed - that's a whole different story - but they would totally listen and consider what the elder had to say.
