More quotes by Alice Walker
Progress' affects few. Only revolution can affect many.
Alice Walker
The nature of this flower is to bloom.
Alice Walker
I've found, in my own writing, that a little hatred, keenly directed, is a useful thing.
Alice Walker
Laughter isn't even the other side of tears. It is tears turned inside out. Truly the suffering is great, here on earth. We blunder along, shredded by our mistakes, bludgeoned by our faults. Not having a clue where the dark path leads us. But on the whole, we stumble along bravely, don't you think?
Alice Walker
Like I said...fine with me.
Alice Walker
I think I'm led by spirit. I think I'm led by a sense of what is right and what feels good to me - what I accept, what is joyful, what is positive. I see my mission, in a way, as carrying that forward - not so much by preaching, but by embodiment.
Alice Walker
It didn't take long to realize I didn't hardly know nothing. And that if you ast yourself why you black or a man or a woman or a bush it don't mean nothing if you don't ast why you here, period
Alice Walker
God is different to us now, after all these years in Africa. More spirit than ever before, and more internal. Most people think he has to look like something or someone- a roofleaf or Christ- but we don't. And not being tied to what God looks like, frees us.
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
I grew up in the South [USA states] under segregation. I know what terrorism feels like - when your father could be taken out in the middle of the night and lynched just because he didn't look like he was in an obeying frame of mind when a white person said something he must do. That's terrorism, too.
Alice Walker
For in the end, freedom is a personal and lonely battle and one faces down fears of today so that those of tomorrow might be engaged.
Alice Walker
Some colored people so scared of whitefolks they claim to love the cotton gin.
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
I have learned not to worry about love but to honor its coming with all my heart.
Alice Walker
We are all substantially flawed, wounded, angry, hurt, here on Earth. But this human condition, so painful to us, and in someways shameful- because we feel we are weak when the reality of ourselves is exposed- is made much more bearable when it is shared, face to face, in words that have expressive human eyes behind them.
Alice Walker
If I could live as a tree, as a river, as the moon, as the sun, as a star, as the earth, as a rock, I would. ...Writing permits me to experience life as any number of strange creations.
Alice Walker
I don’t need a certain number of friends, just a number of friends I can be certain of.
Alice Walker
Part of what confuses people in times of upheaval is that you're getting so many different points of view and directions and so and so, how to do this and do that. And a lot of it is written in a language that honestly most people cannot understand.
Alice Walker
It has been proved that the land can exist without the country - and be better for it it has not been proved ... that the country can exist without the land.
Alice Walker
I write not only what I want to read...I write all the things I should have been able to read.
Alice Walker
