I don’t need a certain number of friends, just a number of friends I can be certain of.
Alice Walker

I'm where I need to be, so my heart is light. Whatever happens, I know - I mean, I feel - that this is absolutely where I should be and I've lived up to my own expectations.

You can just keep going and going and going, and you never get to the end of it because there is no end. The ending is a beginning. If you feel like that, then you accept that wherever you have to stop on this journey, you continue in some other form somewhere else.
Alice Walker

The hardest part is when you're in danger yourself. You have to face what could happen and might be likely to happen to you. It's not just that you're there standing next to somebody that something bad is likely to happen to. That is a true moment of reckoning with who you really are.

Wish for nothing larger Than your own small heart.

I feel a little peculiar around the children. For one thing, they grown. And I see they think me and Nettie and Shug and Albert and Samuel and Harpo and Sofia and Jack and Odessa real old and don't know much what going on. But I don't think us feel old at all. And us so happy. Matter of fact, I think this the youngest us ever felt.

It matters to me that I feel loved by the universe - and I do.

No matter how hidden the cruelty, no matter how far off the screams of pain and terror, we live in one world. We are one people.

When life descends into the pit I must become my own candle Willingly burning my self To light up the darkness around me.
