Alice Walker
Our mothers and grandmothers ... moving to music not yet written.
Alice Walker
If I'm killed - if I'm removed - there is nowhere else for me to go but to my ancestors.
Alice Walker
I know what I'm thinking bout, I think. Nothing. And as much of it as I can.
Alice Walker
You really can't be a good artist if you can't say what you really feel. And people may be offended, but, you know, that's how you feel, and that is your right, and that is your gift as well.
Alice Walker
... my mother adorned with flowers whatever shabby house we were forced to live in.
Alice Walker
Abortion is an act of self-defense.
